HOT...HOT...HOT!!!




Need I say....it's been hot here in Louisiana. The temps have been in the upper 90's , and with the humidity so high the heat index is in the 100's. I call that HOT! The air-conditioner has been running almost constantly. I mentioned in the last post as an effort to save energy and because I really like the smell and feel of line dried clothes, I got my husband to erect a clothesline for me. Two loads of clothes have been hung this morning. I have been using it for the past few weeks and thoroughly enjoy it...except for maybe dealing with the heat when I hang out the clothes. Surely it will be more pleasant in the fall. Let me reign myself in and remember, I need to enjoy each day and NOT wish away the month of August.




The garden is done. Dan is mowing down all the weeds and cleaning things up for our fall garden. Looking forward to some cooler weather, now is the time to start some seeds of cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower for planting in Sept.




My housework is calling in a VERY loud voice...I have been neglecting most things since we went on our trip to Kentucky with 2 of our granddaughters. Laundry has been demanding my limited time. Today I plan to sweep, mop and vacuum the floors. I have decided not to obsess about housework....I will take things one at a time and hopefully one day I will be de-cluttered and clean


Later this afternoon I want to start sewing pillows for 2 of my granddaughters. (the twins). They like cats and kittens so I found some cute fabric with cats on it. I am going to attempt to embroider their initials on each pillow, so they can tell them apart. I will take photos during the process and post when done.

Last of the Summer Garden


Here it is the end of July and our garden has given us its best. The tomatoes are still coming in but the cucumbers and squash have finished. There are still peppers coming. I haven't had time to check the garden since last week. We have been vacationing in Kentucky. Maybe this afternoon when it cools off a little I will check it out.
I have been washing clothes all morning. 4 loads already and they are all hung on my new clothes line. The clothes smell soooo good now. I LOVE my clothes line!
Later I will blog about all the good things I put up from the garden this summer. I was so busy canning and freezing our produce, I didn't have time to blog.
