July

Well dang gone its hot out there and the garden is thriving in it. Tomatoes are commin on as fast as I can pick them, cucumbers too. Most of my lettuce has bolted in the heat and the spinach just never set in. The baby peach tree is packed full of leaves and the herbs have gone wild with the warm July nights.

Dick and I are mostly recovered from Cinci trip. I still have some numbness along my fingers in left hand, but my ankle is fine. Sun burn all healed up too, never did peel but boy was I lobstered. Mostly been spending time at the gym staying out of the heat and humidity. Regular routine of library and the Y. Not a whole lot of bike time but a bit. Scrubbed bathroom floors today and gave dicks cage a good scrub. Now hes snug as a bug in a rug, all wrapped up in freshly laundered t-shirts the whole place smelling of pine-sol.

Im itchin to get a good fall trip planned out. I think Southern Ohio near where I spent the best years of my childhood at Great Grandma Alices house in New Concord. She is long passed but It would be nice to just wander the ol stomping grounds and see if any of my old friends are still in the area.

I'm very happy these past few weeks, enjoying a crush on an amazing girl. I swear I could not have written a character like her. Life really is better than the finest fiction. Don't worry girls I'm still available for flirting *wink* Speakin of fiction just finished "the Fiction class" by Breem or was it Breen, anyways nice book. Reads more like a long short story. The ending was a little boxed in, but I really enjoyed the writing lessons tucked in the story. It was fun.

Put a few new pics up here and ther. Finally figured out how to get Digi cam hooked up to computer so I'll post them a bit more frequent. I did make a trek along the bike trail expansion west to Elmore, Ohio. It appears the County has got it all clear cut and ready for serious work to begin. Boy now you can get to areas that have not been cleared since Waaaaaay back in the day. Really brings back memories. More on that as construction continues.

Peace, Luv, and Ferret Kisses,
Rick and Dick
