Emptied our traps

The bugs are in full force here in South Western Ontario this year.   

We emptied the traps in which we are catching the Gypsy Moths, not as many moths as there were last week, but still enough to clean them out.   Also, put a new bag on the Japanese Beetle Trap, as it was getting a layer on the bottom, and with the heat,   well.......you know what happens.

As I was sweeping off the front porch yesterday, I needed to more the Adirondack chair, and on the wall I noticed a white moth, female Gypsy moths are  white, so plucked her off the wall.    Underneath her was a patch of light brown eggs, they too were destroyed.   We are certainly doing our part to help get these invasive moths gone.

Hubby is outside trimming the grass around the flower beds and then he is going to trim the hedge....again.  It needs to be done at least once a week in high Summer.

Our tomato plants are producing a lot of tomatoes, just wish some of them would soon ripen, I cannot wait, to go and pick a big one, slice it up on a fresh piece of toasted bread, with a couple slices of bacon.   There are a couple that need a sling, so will need to look in the car for an old mask to hold them up.  All the potted plants have been watered, so they are fine for the next 24 hours.  

One of Hubby's grandchildren is enrolled in a high school that specializes in an art program.  He is in this program and some of the students placed their works in an online sale, a portion of the sale money goes to the art program and the balance to the student.   Hubby saw his painting and purchased it, however, students do not know who buys their work.   Yesterday we put the painting in a frame and it is now in the living room.   We are waiting to see the look on the face when he comes for a visit.   It's an abstract painting, not one that I would say I had to buy, but I must say it does look nice on the wall.  

What will I be up to today, I have been sorting our a lot of stuff, and it is going to a charity shop today, so that is one job.  Then there is always the regular chores that need to be done.  Then, I will continue to sew the binding down on the challenge project our quilting guild has.  When it is completed I will post a photo.

Dinner tonight, BBQ ribs, we have some brown beans that need to be eaten, and I will make a garden salad.  Vanilla pudding  and strawberries for desert.
