Veggies Grow In Heat

At least something good comes out of this heat...the veggies are growing fast...the tomato and eggplant are growing in leaps and bounds...I am a melted...wilted...lump! The animals woke me up early this morning wanting to go outside...my poor old black kitty just sprawls out on the kitchen floor underneath the ceiling fan...I keep the bathtub full of water and whenever I see Toby panting too much I put him in the tub to cool off...Between the pool outside and the shower inside I manage .....my clothes and hair are always wet...but it's the only thing that keeps the body temp. down...oh...and the trusty spray bottle which I fill with ice cold water from the fridge...it seems to be abit cooler this morning...I hope it gets down in the 90's!!!! It is 6:15 am...I am going out to the pool to cool off.......

Yes.....my dears.....I will be in and out of this pool all day....when the temps. reach over 100..and no air-conditioning ...(except for Dad's room)...then I start to melt....the house just builds up heat.... I have no energy to do anything except try to stay somewhat cool....that spells POOL......I have art to work on...but hope next week is abit cooler...it's amazing the difference it is when it's in the 90's .........Yesterday was 101...and today I think it's going to be HOTTER....We watched a good old classic movie yesterday..."My Friend Flicka".....I love those old classic movies...this one was from 1943. I still have lots of "party beans" leftover from early in the week....so yippee....it's way to HOT to slave over a hot stove...I'm reading Oprah's latest book club pick right now called "Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides....I started to read this book some time ago, but could never get very far...this time I hung in alittle longer and it's getting better and better...it's a thick book...529 pages...my favorite kind.
Today is a good day to sit out by the pool...with a cold drink..... a thick book.....my animals at my side......and some peace and quiet...which will probably put me right into DREAMLAND....it's too HOT for anything else!
