Welcome to August. Another month has gone but I don't think we'll miss it. The weather channel reporters said that July was the warmest July on record. Looking at our electric bills I can believe it.
Cool, dry and sunny today. Got some of the clothes we had on the beds upstairs sorted. Some I folded and put in drawers or hung up. A couple of bags went into the trash. They were "gifts" from charities wanting donations. We really wished they would stop sending those things. We don't need them and aren't good enough to donate anywhere. Thankfully most of those charities aren't sending so much of that. Now if only most of them would stop sending note pads, stickers, address labels and calendars.
I finally got out on the patio and started cleaning out the containers and sorting out the ones I am getting rid of. So far only one container has been discarded but I managed to save about half of the soil after pulling the root bound top layer out. Several of the small pots in the fence hangers are now empty and ready for washing and storing for the season. I will start earlier outside tomorrow.
Bill Astore has a very good post making the case that the real "enemy" the U.S. has isn't China, or Russia or any other nation we have to interact with. It is the persistent, perpetual, and permanent war or preparation for way. This year the military budget, the part they tell ys about, broke the $1TRILLION level and will probably stay at that and even increase for the foreseeable future. I have asked before how soon that budget will rob funds from all other parts of the so-called budget and then how soon after will we be bankrupt as a country.
