Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's still bright and mostly clear, with a few clouds off and on. It's won't be *quite* as hot today, low 90s, and again the possibility of afternoon storms. Yesterday and last night storms passed Very close ... but all we got was a bit of thunder and lightening. Perhaps today some rain will come closer!
Yesterday: It was so hot that it was hard to get much done, but I managed a few things. After taking DH to dialysis, I checked out the local farmer's market. They had some nice things, and I got some fresh corn. Then I went to the (Habitat) Resale storm. I was looking for old carpeting for the garden ... found it, and a *few* other things. :) On the way home I stopped by DS's shop to check out some old yard chairs, which he is going to bring to me (eventually! LOL!). At home my friend and I played with a fun art project, and then braved the heat a few minutes at a time. (thermometer on porch said 100 at 7:00 at night). Everything not on timers got watered; and we harvested a huge batch of squash and zuchinni, a few tomatoes, a few radishes. There's lots more that will be ready soon. That's about all that got done for the day.
Today: It's a tiny bit cooler (low instead of high 90s), but I don't have much outside stuff to deal with today. If it doesn't look like we'll get rain by tonight, I will turn the sprinklers on for some extra time. Inside, hoping to get some general cleaning done, and *maybe* (if I don't stay on the computer too long) work on the weekly project. And, I intend to get some sewing done! :)
