The Sun Can't Stop Us (Mostly)

That is an actual picture of the sun over our house yesterday and a pretty spot on visualization of how it actually felt.

It was HOT!

But we still got some stuff done. Daylillies transplanted, rocks shoveled, tomato plants grounded, peppers in the soil, and everyone hydrated fully.

Of course we were back in the shade of the house by 1 cooling ourselves with cold showers and ice cold smoothies. But we did have the gall to have dinner on the back deck. By that time it was actually kind of nice out so... barbecue chicken, zucchini fries and garlic scapes on the grill. Really quite good.

And we even braved the heat to go on a walk, albeit not our most exhilarating, we did think we found a giant dead cat that turned out just to be a guard lion, and Yuula did some road rock redesign.

She's very picky about her road rocks.

gardens looking good...day lillies on side of house look great...one more place you have to water while this heat is on...but once they take root you can ignore....well might have to deer off...
