Our dahlias are still blooming.
The recent rain weighed some down.
The wind blew some over.
But the blossoms still standing are beautiful.
Summer and I took inventory.
We still need to deadhead the casualties and spray some soapy water on the aphids.
I wonder if we will ever run out of chores.
Probably not.

I picked out the best most sweetest watermelon at the grocery store this morning. I have been keeping it cold in the refrigerator for just the right moment.
It was feeling like the heat of the day so I cut up half the watermelon for us to snack on and took the other super cold half next door to our neighbors.
Even though she is going through chemo she was excited about eating some cold hydrating watermelon. That made Summer and I both happy campers.
Since we were going next door anyway we picked a bouquet of flowers to take along.
We took pictures of the dahlias before we cut them so we could share with our Mastodon friends too.
It makes us feel good when we feel like we are doing good.

I finished writing and addressing 350 post cards to be mailed tomorrow. I will make the deadline. Whew.
My daughter offered congratulations in the form of some photos of the flowers from her garden.
She gives away tons of bouquets.
It must be someone's lucky day.
I learned a lesson about how much time these postcard mailings take. I might do 100 at a time the next go around. My writing hand will recover soon I hope.

I dropped some poptarts off to my daughter. She was on her way to volunteer and drop off a dahlia bouquet for the staff and patients at our local Breast Health Project. She brings them flowers every week. Many cancer patients receive services there. The flowers contribute to a welcoming atmosphere.
I also bribed my friend, who is much more social than I am, with poptarts to promote my grandson's business. She knows everyone and loves my grandson. An excellent combination.
