As Dorothy nets her blueberries, I prop up my tomatoes. The bushes are all leaning because with a good crop the green tomatoes are quite heavy. So many things threaten to melt away if they wilt too much, so my bucket brigade of kitchen gray water continues.

More purses and shoes out of the closet, and this evening on my cat feeding run I'll swing by Goodwill to drop off stuff. I didn't mention yesterday that DSW has gone bagless. This is a good move, though I didn't expect it and stuffed my new socks into my purse. Those big black and white bags meant for many shoe boxes were perfect for the Goodwill stuff because I could empty the whole bin into one. I'll have to keep the bags I have for reuse after depositing stuff in the donation center canvas laundry cart.

The house is 80^o and the yard is 105^o. My mother never came to visit from April through October because she doesn't like the weather much over 80 outside.
