Yesterday morning I whipped up a batch of Cowboy cookies while it was relatvely cool. I opened the kitchn window, in spite of very high humidity. I spent about an hour working on salvaging some of the garden. There is a squash plant that had hundreds of fuzzy white bugs on it. I squshed a lot of them, but I bet they are back this morning. Must spray. I pulled up a lot of weeds (mostly grass) and some dead plants (tomatoes, dill...). I am going to plant another squash in a different place and see if I can get it to produce some fruits before frost.

Ray and I tidied up a lot because the cleaning lady was coming. Now we have a really nice house, except for a few rooms. Two people were here for four hours. She said if we have a regular day and time, it won't take so long to keep it up.

Ray and I left as they got started. He went to his office and I went to lunch with Becky at Mama's Boy. It is always crowded and noisy there.
