Hubby & I shared a bottle of Pinot Grigio with dinner & during our Zoom call with our niece & nephew & their daughter last night. We renewed our call twice before we got all caught up with each other.

Afterwards we watched the last 2 episodes of Bosch Legacy. I was disappointed Bosch put his house (that was damaged in an earthquake early in the season) up for sale. I loved the scenes in the original Bosch series when he played jazz albums while looking out over his gorgeous view 😕

We got to bed late but I got really engrossed in my book & ended up staying up to finish it. Surprisingly, I didn't fall asleep....guess the mystery was so intriguing it kept me awake...til almost 4 AM 😏

I still got up around the usual time this morning.

Today, I talked to my daughter in Dallas for about an hour & a half. I sat out on the deck as we talked & enjoyed the nice weather. We had rain off & on for a few days & the temperatures were a little cooler.

After our call I sprayed Grass B Gone on an area in the gardens. Then I mixed up a fresh batch of deer repellant & gave everything a refresher. I've held my breath the last couple of mornings that the deer hadn't gotten into the many flowers & plants that are looking quite nice. Although, I sprayed a couple of days ago, we had quite heavy rain & sometimes that dilutes the repellant enough the deer don't mind the taste. I have a lot of buds on daylillies as well as the Mandevilla & Clematis. I was walking along the path looking for things to spray, came around a corner & was startled by a black snake 🐍 😳 They're not poisonous & eat things like mice & even Copperheads, so we don't mind them in the gardens. Still it gave me a fright til I recognized him.

I also started....& got caught up in a new Netflix series this afternoon....The House Across from the Woman in the Window...or something like that. The episodes are around 30 minutes so I watched several before I made myself turn off the TV 📺 😌

Well need to get to bed....😴😴 I have another book 📚 by the same author to start. I'll see how far I get before I get too sleepy.
