Not much going on here. Hubby and I, the dog, and the cats are just trying to survive the summer's heat. However, this summer has been NOTHING like 2018! That summer nearly did us in! We had many days over 118. So far, this summer, I believe we've only had 3 and one was yesterday. (okay, it was only 117!)....But today it will be 118...So, we just stay indoors all day.
I go out in the morning, water my plants, feed the birds, change the hummingbird sugar water, and do about a 15 minute yard cleanup. We have, however, been able to open up our windows until about 9 am. and then I run around and close them ALL. Poor Bodie (our dog)...it is too hot for him to be outside during the day, so he sleeps ALL NIGHT and then naps ALL DAY. I've never had a dog who slept so much! Maybe he thinks he is a cat?
My hollyhocks are drying out and probably next week (or when it is a cool morning), I'll go out, rip them all out, and use the weeder. I've been procrastinating doing this because they DO provide a nice barrier from street noise and views. I still do have my sunflowers and my zinnias and cosmos, however.
Here's a link to my YouTube video (the most recent one). I need to do one either this morning or tomorrow... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFX88YW_jVM&t=9shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFX88YW_jVM&t=9s
I need to go out and do a garden update. I didn't realize the last one was a month ago!
That's all for now!
