We have had a little welcome relief from heat due to extensive cloud cover the last couple of days, but not from humidity. It remains steamy even when cooler. Interestingly, my daughter and son-in-law took my grandchildren to the beach in central California on Saturday...and froze! There are pictures of little Ryan looking very cold. Guess they stayed less than two hours. Meg said they turned the heat on in her vehicle on the way home and stopped for hot chocolate!
A friend was coming over, briefly, today...and I totally took advantage of him. (Uh...don't take that in the wrong way!) I ran out to Aldi's to buy water softener salt. Got six 40-lb. bags and wrestled them into the cart. In the parking lot, another OLD lady helped me get them from the cart to the trunk. (I think she was older than me but didn't have much trouble muscling the bags. I need to do something about my upper body strength!) When my friend arrived, I pulled the helpless female deal to see if he could get the bags to the house. (In truth, I wasn't acting. I really could NOT have managed the bags without a major problem!) Thankfully, the salt is now in place, and as soon as the softener decides to regenerate, I'll have soft water again!!
I haven't accomplished much today. The yard was mowed by another dude. A little laundry was done. I'm ready to get the patio cleaned off. Just need a day without interruptions and distractions to get the job done. When it finally finished, it will be the first time in two years that my patio will be my happy little haven of nature. (If you saw it, you would laugh that I think of it that way, but that silly covered patio was a major draw for buying this house so many years ago!)
Skeeters are out. Got my first bites of the summer today. The earwig problem has dissipated. Now I have to fight the blasted mosquitoes!
To my friends Ryan and Mike who are dealing with loved ones in the hospital, I bid you to keep the faith and take care of yourselves. Taking care of the ailing throws everything else off. Love you guys!
