Follow...follow JC along His Yellow Brick Road

We are toasted!!

Oh Yes!  It's hot...its hot a lot.  I know I saw a fish worm crawling along with a suitcase... looking for a cooler climate.  Actually a bird dropped a real fish worm or night crawler right beside the bird bath and it has since dehydrated.  I can't keep enough water in the bird bath or enough water on the tomato plants.  More burn bans have been announce in the area and in the counties near by. 

I almost have my book case "done."  Yes, it has taken me a long time.  It is hard to do with one bad arm that doesn't want to bend or stretch or do what I tell it to do.  So I have been doing a little at a time.  One shelf here,  a little bit there, and a tiny bit in between.  The last part is above my head and that will be the more tricky part as my arm does not and I guess it never will, reach, stretch or bend the way it did three years ago.  I do persist, 'though, and am almost finished.  It may not be a good job and has a lot of flaws and errors, but it will just have to be.

I did mention that I moved the refrigerator last week in order to clean behind it and that putting it back was an endeavor of desperation because it stuck out in the middle of the kitchen.  Getting it back did play havoc on my arm and it is still pretty stiff.  So, whenever I feel sorry for my predicament or have the tendency to complain, I think of all the boys coming back from Afghanistan or Pakistan without arms or legs or various wounds.  Makes me count my blessings.

I see one tiny tomato on the vine and some blossoms.  I may get tomatoes before Christmas.  I don't know what the peppers are gonna do; they look a little stressed.  We need rain

There isn't much going on that is interesting.  I stay in near the A/C as much as I can, but I really need to mow the yard. 
While the grass isn't growing...the weeds are.  I see a little tree right in the middle of my neighbor's yard.  They haven't mowed, either.

Tomorrow is Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, Rel (Mem).  If you follow the LOTH go to 1474.
from common of Rel 1858
OOR1061, Rd359 and 1474, Pr 1476...Vol 111.  OR you can just go to Divine Office. org and follow the yellow brick road as it it is all laid out for you.  OK?  OK.  The"yellow brick road" is an illteration, of course...just being silly.

AND YOU SHALL KNOW

THAT I AM

IN THE MIDST OF ISRAEL

AND I AM THE LORD

YOUR GOD

AND THERE IS NONE

BESIDES;

AND MY PEOPLE

SHALL NOT BE

CONFOUNDED

FOR EVER.

P.S.  Something evil
bit my hand
Now it is red
and now it is
a puffy palm
not a psalm
but a palm
