Warm July- but it is summer!

89º at 12:10 pm Saturday as I start this.
Looks like highs in the 90's next week or so.




Phyllis is sewing as I write this.
Last night - after a soak in the hot tub - she was checking in on her tablet
Had lots of cottonwood seeds floating on the lawn -
hadn't caught the grass for a while, so mowed the lawn with push mower
to catch it all.

Was pretty hot and took over a gallon of water and took three breaks to set in front of fan to cool off before I could finish.
Can you believe the yard was again covered by
the cottonwood seeds this morning.

Tomatoes from our deck

Small, but lots of them





















I haven't quite figured out
this sign actually being posted,
but it was cropped from a full
photo.
Finally sorting out salvaged hardwood flooring I saved
in the 1990's.

The storage I built a month or so ago is getting
lots of use and now I can actually find what I want.
Discovered gutter over west side of bedroom was over-running
during last rain so set up to clean it.

While ladder set up trimmed the tree branches overhanging the bedroom

Some of Phyllis' flowers - can't remember the name

Phyllis used the bricks as a stage for these characters

Phyllis' flowers on the west side of our house.



All three of these photos of corn
were taken from our front yard.

Thought For The Day – Man is a peculiar creature. He spends a fortune making his home insect-proof and air conditioned, and then eats out in the yard.

More later, Lynn
