When Will This Heat Wave Cease?

All my flowers are now zilch to I bought out some lilys that were given to me by a friend, and took a snap or two of them.  They really cheer up this page don't they?

I took the weekend off due to the heat and all my problems with the computer.  The same applies to today.  It must be all the air conditioners and fans running to make this heat bearable.  Strange, I don't remember minding the heat that much when just a girl, but I had the river to keep me busy and I could jump in and out of the water at whim.

So far the weekend consisted of me watching TV and cooking when I absolutely had to.  Hubby was okay with that but complains that nothing tasted the same.  Well of course not, you take out the salt, the spices with salt added and the high fat mozzarella cheese and naturally the flavor is not the same. All in all though, I thought the substitutions were fairly good and I enjoyed it.  I did make extra for today thank goodness.  I'm already like a wet noodle.  I'll try making it another way to see if he likes that one better.  He never complains, just puts that, "It doesn't taste the same as you used to make."  Teeth grit...

I need to go out and shop today instead of letting hubby go.  I only need three items and hubby went out for those yesterday.  He came home with a large bag of Salt and Pepper potato chips, ice cream, large rolls and a loaf of bread.  Also mixed candy, strawberry cheesecake, etc.  Yes, I will go myself and the bill will be cheaper.  I can get in and get out in just a few minutes because I know where things are in the store.  Hubby likes to make a day of it.  I guess once retired, it's something to do with his day, and since he never went with me and the three kids when I really needed him, there's a lot of new things for him to discover.  I don't blame him, it's just when waiting for the ingredients to finish the meal in order to get it cooked, 3 hours is a long time to wait.  I did fall asleep while waiting though so it worked out for me too

I just opened the patio door and found it to be much less muggy than the previous week.  Last night was bad and I didn't sleep much at all.  So today my tail is dragging and if I put my dishes away and reload the machine, I'll be doing something. Now that's an accomplishment.  I washed the floor a day or two ago and my back is still angry with me.

All the kids went camping for the week but came home every day over the 3 day weekend.  New tent never got sprayed to keep it dry in case of rain and of course it rained all weekend off and on.  Today starts a new week so I hope they make out okay. The sun is out so as to help with drying out the tent.  I know they will need more ice and expect a call at anytime.  I'm making large ice cubes as fast as the fridge can do so and bagging them. 

Our skunks came back, strutting their stuff along the rock wall.  Momma, and her three young ones.  Hubby saw them and called me so I got to see them all together, following in formation like good little troops.  They make it worthwhile for me when I see something cute like that.  Nature is full of surprises.

I haven't seen the owls again so guess they have moved on to better hunting grounds.

That's it for now.  The mind is just not clicking today so while hubby sleeps, I'm going to go back and take a nap.  It's early yet.

Have a great day and make it special.

Hugs
