HOT JULY

so this is july and it is hotter than hattie!!!!!!! we haven't been able to get what we would like to get done around here causeby afternoon it isway tohot to do anything it jmust wipes us out big time...

but can you believe that morning we have gone to the back of the barn wherewe have a stash of fire wood and hauled a wagon full to theback porch..we need to have the winter stash in place soon..we are a wee bit later than usuall...we have it all done by now but i guess not getting home till the last week on may has something to do with it...

the garden is growing and of course has needed to be watered and if we don't get some rain in the next day or 2 we will have to start watering again...we were suppose to go on a bike ride today but cancelled it due to the oppressive temps...just as well cause it got over 100 and that's way to hot to be doing any physical activites...we will plan another day for the ride..we had planned on doo9ng to erie canal then out to lunch at the dinosaur and popular place in syracuse...a biker and i mean motercycle place for good b-b-q...also a favorite for lots of others...but it got it's fame from bikers...and not pedal bikers like us...

we are now waiting for it to cool down..last night we went to a friends house who has a pool they had invited several couples to come ono down and enjoy which we did..and a fun time was had by all and it sure felt good ..lots of laughs

mitch does NOT enjoy these hot temps..he walks around trying to find the coolest place to lay down..if is isn't the bathroom floor it is the flag stones at the front entrance...sometimes even the kitchen floor...we do take him for a swim every now and then but he has to stay outside till he dries off...

so we are holding our own in this heat ugh i say.....have even thought about sleeping in the rig at night but thankful it does drop some by night and with the fans on it hasn't been too awful for sleeping...
