Our new sand filter is in & we're $7,000 poorer; then there's our new dishwasher which set us back over $1,000. The old one was 15 years old & would have cost about the same to fix, so it was a no brainer. It's a Blomberg--a European company I'd never heard of, but it's very silent & uses only 3 gallons of water per load. I'm liking it!

Dog Days Of Summer
We're heading toward the end of July--about the time I usually decide next year I won't have a garden. Too much trouble for just a month of beauty, I find myself saying. However, I think most gardens look bedraggled by July & mine is no exception. Roses are about the only thing left blooming but it's nothing like the profusion in June. The lavender is blooming by the garden house, as well as the impatiens in the window boxes, altho I've trimmed everything else back since it's through flowering.
