The sun is up in full force, unlike yesterday. There's a slight breeze, unlike yesterday when it felt like hurricane force winds were blowing, temp is supposed to reach 80 with virtually no humidity, unlike yesterday when we didn't break 70.
I'm currently having my OJ waiting for the coffee to finish perking and watching Sunday Today. I slept in today after all the fresh air and work we did yesterday. Helped a neighbor get her garden going and today we're planning to finish it up with the mulch and some small white rocks. She's going to share some of her hens and chicks with my neighbor up here by me and also share with me some other ground cover she has that I love. I can't wait to see it finished for her. She's been working on it for months trying to kill and rip out all the grass and weeds around an old tree stump in a 12' x 12' (I think) area. I'll have to take some pics.
Going to get my coffee and sit out on the balcony and watch the humming birds. Haven't done much of that this year. Hope everyone enjoys the day!

Morning.. finally sitting down to breakfast. Hubby made bacon and eggs and I made the biscuits. Going to be a HOT one today anywhere from 100 to 107 and sunny. The dogs will be staying in today with the AC. Hubby is going to put our deck umbrella up in back so the 4 little tiny babies have some shade. They are too small to get off the deck and they are going to roast. Other than that, not a lot going on. Forever Sunshine, sounds like you earned a day off!

Well, it wasn't a day off. We got it all finished today, at least as much as I'm going to help. She has a section of the garden with hens and chicks entwined in the exposed root system from the tree that was cut down in the garden area. She wants to spread really small white stones around those but she didn't have enough. She's going tonight to get some. She's on her own for the rest of the project. I have a dozen or so plants I need to get in the ground in my own garden but that'll have to wait until tomorrow. My back is screaming and my asthma is kicking up with all this wind and pollen.
Thinking about a hot dog or burger for supper tonight. Earlier today, I diced up some watermelon and cantaloupe. I'll snack on that a bit. Other than that, it's relaxing time. Temp only got to 70 today so it's been pretty comfortable outside except for the wind. I hate when it's this windy.

Was 100F here today and going to be hotter tomorrow. Just hoping we don't get hit with nasty storms! We've lost enough trees around here

Got all the grass cut today.
The only day this week cool enough, was in the mid 80's.
Back up to around 100 through next Sat.
Have to check the lake temp for swimming, we like 85° or higher.

Just finished round one with the animals and having my coffee before round 2. Today is supposed to be hotter than yesterday. Guess I believe them because it is 11:22 and it's already 90F and feels like 102. So we will be staying inside today with the AC on. Hopefully by tomorrow the heat will break. Millie has her wellness checkup at the Vet at 2 so I need to get moving. Have a great day gang!

Evening all. Bad day at work today with that punk of a kid again. This time I went to the store manager and asst. store manager. They both said I was right to report him for his antics and were going to have a talk with him. I told them they'd better because I will not put up with his crap!
Other than that, this evening was fun. Made the rounds around the complex chatting with everyone sitting out. Seems I started a trend. A couple others are wanting to start flower gardens. lol A couple of us are trying to plan a "get to know your neighbors" picnic for sometime in July. I really hope it comes to fruition.
A cool night here with 64o currently and no humidity. Rain moving in tomorrow night into Wednesday. Still didn't get my dozen flower planted yet. lol Tomorrow's another day.
Hope y'all have a good night. Sweet dreams.

Went outside to do a few things in the barn early this morning. Had to come in at 9:30, too hot even with the big fan. Tv shows and naps indoors this afternoon. Typical Arkansas summer day.

We want to get out on the lake, but I need to go over everything on the boat. It's been just too hot and we've been lazing in the house watching shows and taking naps most of the day. Supposed to have some low 80's next week. Might get it done then. Boat won't go out till the second week after the fourth, when all the tourists leave from the holiday.

Morning all, well it's still morning here. Just now getting to coffee and breakfast. I made a Quiche Lorrane for breakfast and it is delicious. Busy morning with the animals. The kittens got to run around and destroy my sunroom this morning but now they are sleeping. We had a front come in last night and it went into the 60's. So windows are wide open. Windy and about 70 at the moment. Might take the dogs down to the lake unless hubby wants to mow the yard. Just going to see where the day takes us. Thinking I might make Mexican for dinner.

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all having a great day so far. Looking to be a lovely one here. Bright blue skies and 80 degrees. Had hoped to go out on the boat but had to take my dad's cat to the vet, he's not eating so now we have to wait for a call. They were booked up so she was going to look at him when she could. So I'll probably just hang out outside instead. Enjoy your day and I'll be around to play!

The last of our comfortable days today, the heat returns tomorrow. Have a rink party to do tomorrow, kind of odd for middle of summer.

Finally got frozen blueberries at our Wal-Mart. They've been out for months. Not sure what's on the agenda for today, DW is going to spend the day with her mom.
