Happy 4th!
well, we did get a smidgen of rain...
and it cools off from time to time...
85 today, so not so bad but heating up again soon...
no plans for this weekend...
our town did their fireworks and festival last weekend...
the old man is mowing part of the yard now...
it's been 4 weeks since that part was mowed, but its not brown like the neighbors' yards are...
it wasn't that tall, either...
got blooms on the tomatoes and green beans...
they went in a bit late this year...
did my bloodwork Friday morning...
all the vitals were spot on...
I should hear Monday or Tuesday on the lab work...
other than that, its been pretty boring around here...
have a safe and happy 4th!

and the heat wave continues...
what a way to start summer...
praying for those who might not have ac...
dh goes out in the evening and waters...
not watering everything every night...
he's got a rotation planned...
it's been 10 days since we mowed last...
it's just not growing...
we need cooler temps and rain...
so Ida, send some this way, please!
dh did a meat haul yesterday, so we will be putting that in the freezer today...
2 big family packs of ground beef to cook and cool and bag...
we started this a couple years ago...
we cook it down, drain and bag it for the freezer...
saves so much time when making suppers!
we set it down the night before we need it and then just dump it in whatever you are making...
I do that with cooked whole chickens, too...
just de-bone and then make up portion bags for noodles or soup...
got some broccoli to steam and a watermelon to cut up...
just some inside play time...
it's not bad cooking things in the ac...
we have young squirrels and baby bunnies in the yard...
got water out for them and the birds...
keeping the feeders full...
stay safe, y'all!
