Smells Like Smoke....

As soon as Little Wonder went outside this morning I could smell the smoke.  The sky was not orange like yesterday, but you could hardly see the woods out back.

The good part....3 new hibiscus blossoms.

I stripped the bed, washed everything and remade it...

so my buddy could try it out.

Summer Serenades was supposed to start at the Welcome Center tonight,  but the air quality was too poor and it was cancelled.

I had already started on dinner since I would be gone all afternoon playing bridge.  Italian sausage, peppers and onions.

Not too much excitement in the cards department.  Enjoyed the air conditioning and just sitting down.

We really need some rain.

Home around 4 and eventually finished dinner.  Gary picked a big basket of fresh lettuce and I made a simple salad.

Had two small zucchini so I sautéed them with onions.  Made a little pasta and when everything was finished I put it all in one bowl topped with some Romano cheese,

So good.

After we finished eating, LW found some good light

Night all,

 

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

At first I thought it looked like we were going to get rain...WRONG....we were loaded with smoke from the Canadian fires. 

I had to go out for a little while when Gary got back from coffee.  My Fitbit died and I got a new smaller watch and I'm proud to say I finally figured how to set it up.  Put a very flashy face on it.  This techie stuff drive me nuts.  It's time for me to renew my drivers license and had to take a form down to Oak Orchard to be filled out by my eye Doctor.

Little Wonder did not spend much time outside,,,,,short potty breaks.

We did watch part of the England/Argentina match and stayed cool in the kitchen.  Fortunately, the high today was only 81.

Just not in a picture taking mood.

Dinner was a total replay.  Not in the mood to cook either.....again......

I'm sorry that my pals in Minnesota and Wisconsin also have this weather.  A friend in France has had three heat domes in a row and there are many fires.  Sounds like Europe is roasting.

Night all.

PS

I did watch some of the hearing with the wannabe attorney general.  Very interesting.

He must think were are stupid and can't figure out that he is little t's lawyer.

Way too Hot for Me

I took a shower right when I got up and by 8am (in my night gown) rode my trike down the lane so Little Wonder could get in a walk before it got hot.  At that time there was a nice breeze and the temperature was reasonable. 

The garden between the driveways is totally jammed and the Bee Balm is over 4 feet high.

I had no desire to do anything.  Watched the France/Spain soccer match while the fans kept us cool.

At least 4 or 5 people came to collect their garlic this afternoon.  Gary spent a lot of time outside...don't know how he can stand it.  He started taking out some potatoes just before dinner.

No cooking tonight.  Went down to Perri's and got a pizza...on special tonight.

Right now the temperature in the living room and library is just about 85...

and it's supposed to be hot again tomorrow.  Fortunately the kitchen is comfortable.

Night all,

  

Ridin' In My Car.....

Well Sandra....we did hit 89 degrees and your weather made it to Brockport.  Tomorrow there is a heat advisory and it may feel like 100.

Got up at a reasonable hour this morning and picked some flowers for the kitchen table.

Gary continued getting his garlic orders ready.

At 11, Kim M. and her sister in law Jody came over for 5 bunches and we had a nice long chat.

They went home with flowers too.

Kim has an Art Gallery in Albion, so I took them out to see the Studio before they left

Early afternoon our friend Jackie stopped in to give Gary the new T shirt they will be wearing at Summer Serenades this year. We always end up talking about our community and the many positive things going on here (in spite of the state of our country).

I had a 3:30 appointment with the massage therapist, which made my day.  On top of that, Jenny

invited us to dinner,  All I had to do was make a salad.

Little Wonder always seems to know when we're going there,

Scott grilled some chicken...

Finn got home from the gym just in time to eat....

and it was so delicious!

We even had dessert!

Jenny and Scott sure know how to make great meals,

                                             Got back to the farm just before 8 and here I am.

Night all.
