Still waiting, but not as much ....

- gardens still wet. I have manage to weed a few of the smaller ones, and did get the lilac thicket in the front yard cleared out a bit

- HVAC guys are coming on Monday to replace the furnace & the AC. The new AC should save us a bunch on AC costs. Of course, at the rate it's going this year, we may not need it much. They tell us that the new system should help with airflow in the 'shoulder' seasons when it's not hot enough for AC, but the heat only runs a couple of times a day

- bumper cover showed up as scheduled

- kitty friend decided he liked the neighbors better than our garage with the squabbling raccoons (can't blame him for that!). Neighbor took him to the vet and they found where he belonged. He's a barn cat for the Arabian horse farm a couple of miles away. His partner in crime was missing him, and they apparently had a lovely reunion. He was a gorgeous cat who'd obviously had interactions with people since birth, unlike our two

- still no pix/names from directors. I gave them my deadlines. If they can't meet them, it's not my problem.
