My husband repaired the living room screen and I also bought two cheap adjustable screens to put in front of them. Belt and suspenders until Rufus forgets how easily he did that.
The garden is finally coming along. Wax beans, some tomatoes. The beets drowned. The zucchini perished from a strange malady that wasn't squash vine borers. The cucumber, which I thought wasn't doing well, actually snuck under the tomatoes and appeared on the other side with three stealth cucumbers. Go figure.
The most successful element in the garden was the trellis I built this year from 3 craft show grid walls. Now to see if the lima beans actually develop. There are lots of tiny pods, but they haven't puffed up yet. It's still an interesting construction back there, even without food on it.
In non-garden news, I'm working away on edits on the next book. Just started the second section, while part of my brain is thinking about the next next book. I've made some notes and I'm ignoring them.
The heat wave is broken, and I think I'm going to talk to the husband about taking a shore day before it comes back. I'll get sunburned, either way, but I don't need to be broiled and fried at the same time.
Hope your summer is going well, your gardens are producing, and your pets are better behaved than mine.

Hi Karen, Today I decided to check out your blog. Reading this post made me smile. I'm so happy for you and your success. Our garden not doing as well as last year. Like yours, some things just didn't do well and other plants produced a little. We are getting a break from the heat as well. It won't last long though. Anyway, good to hear that you and yours are well.
