Best Time of Day

In Sacramento during the summer, the best would be mornings, up until about Noon.  I went out at around 7AM and watered my remaining tomato plants.  This has certainly not been a good year for much of anything I've done.  Next year I think I might find a teen-ager who would like to make some money to help me get the garden ready for planting.  And I will try to grow a few plants rather than a lot.
 

I recently ordered some things for Rocky, including a halter type device for walking him.  Jeannie reports that it works very well and that he doesn't pull against it.  I also got a box of rope toys, and within a very short time, he had completely chewed one of them to pieces.

Rocky has an appointment this Sat. for complete grooming including a nail trim.  I hope I can sedate him enough to be a good boy about the trim.  If he does well, then I will set up some follow-up appointments for further trimming.  I'm keeping my fingers and eyes crossed!

I've been attempting to do an attitude adjustment and welcome any suggestions and stories of what works for you.  For some reason I could "see" this entire scenario back in early Feb. although no one could have predicted the total failure of the US government at top levels to head off a complete screw up.  So my hopes to cheer up and be positive have been dashed into the ground.
 
On a happier note, I have about 3 more weeks to go with my cast.  The cast actually goes up to and above my  elbow, but the doctor is planning to trim it to below the elbow which should give me a lot more comfort and flexibility.  I have three more pain pills left and will just take one each morning until they are gone.  I hope I never need another pain pill!  By the way, the bright red cast still looks as beautiful as ever,  I am so glad I had a choice of colors, and my eyes went instantly to my favorite color.

Have a good day!
