It's so often the case that when you get involved in something that you thought you'd do for only a set period that you end up staying way longer than planned. I have several events like that at work. Good job, all of you!

It's the regular afternoon slowdown, the funk when it's so hot outside. A little cooler today, only about 100, but still, hard on everything. I do wish I had a black water tank to elevate and run a shower from. Shower on the lawn after dark and at least water that spot where you're standing! Maybe I can set something up this summer that can go in the garage during the winter. I do hate running perfectly good city water on the yard, it's better to make it do a little work before we pour it on the ground.

The kitchen is just about cleared for some cooking this evening. Canning peaches, and if there's time, juicing strawberries for jelly later. I have to make sure I have lots of convenient surfaces handy for setting things to cool that can be undisturbed for a while.

Several eBay items headed out the door soon, and I'll have to list a few more. I also returned a couple of things to Home Depot that either failed or weren't needed. Clearing out in several directions! I swept the front porch last night so it was a pleasure to walk barefoot over to the corner where the faucet is and be sure it was off. Sometimes with all of the pebbles the porch felt like it was covered with Legos. :-/ I have to clear weeds lying dry on the driveway and finish filling holes dug in the back yard over the last couple of weeks. And laundry to hang out. Just the usual puttering!
