A Hot Week

72°f, hot and humid. 88° already at 11am.

And here he is! Mama Hannah and little Sutton are both doing well. I have not yet seen him, but will wait until she is home and settled to do that. Meanwhile, my son Derek is at Hannah's house, caring for her other children. He's a good Pawpaw.


The moon Tuesday night, just beautiful.


My current morning tea "set".


We have been out getting our booths ready for the July 4th weekend. Usually we do both in one day, but it is too hot to be out working in the afternoons, so we did it on two mornings this week. Yesterday we were in Ravenswood and picked up lunch afterwards, to eat in the car at the little park right by the river.





The old Sayre log cabin. 

It boggles my mind that a walking bridge would cost over 2 million dollars! I think the intent is to bridge Sand Creek and make a walking route from town to the park, which is a little ways from downtown. 


More construction at the park. The sign says this will be a welcome center.  I had heard that it was going to be a waterfront restaurant,  which would be so nice. A welcome center? Meh. That won't benefit the town or our county residents at all.


We have been staying inside during the afternoons. Larry's skin cancer creams have made his skin highly sensitive to the sun, and it's just too miserable to be out anyway. We are getting a lot of squash and cucumbers, some broccoli and a few small tomatoes from the garden. The beans need to be picked, but that will just have to wait. The heat should break Sunday. I hope!

And last, a friend posted this recently.  Sums up this weather.

  3. It's blazing hot here too. No walkies these days. Perhaps if we got out really early, we could manage, but we both sleep to be sleeping later lately, and I hate to interrupt it with an alarm.

  7. That does seem expensive for a walking bridge. Hard to get excited about a welcome center.
    It's been way too hot here. I'm looking forward to some cooler days

  12. Congratulations on the newest member of the family. How exciting for you all. The moon picture is quite good. LOVE your pretty tea set. It is too hot to do almost anything. I've gone outside long enough to water the Butterfly Garden and flower pots, but that's about it. Nice park area.
