A Warm One

After  yesterday’s wonderful day, 93 degrees today feels like a bit much.  We had a few errands to run and we nailed that by ten this morning.

The treat of the day was a visit from Carrie and granddaughter Megan for the noon lunch and the afternoon.  I think they were ready to get out of the metro after the last week of what the metro was experiencing up to the current day.  Yup, it’s quieter here.

It was fun visiting with Megan as a now seasoned employee of the Mustard Seed Garden Nursery.  Though she may only have been working 26 hours a week for the last two months . . . she loves it.  Her jobs include retail, watering and even rolling sod.  She said the learning curve is a daily thing.  Grandpa and I are so proud of her.  Not many of her friends nailed down a summer job as the virus didn’t allow for many options. 

Of course, Dennis sent home a treat with Megan. There were enough York patties for the whole family.  Grandpa cautioned her to keep her little brown paper bag close to the car air conditioning. 

This warm weather should lift as the week goes on.  Dennis has the overhead fans on in the garages and the patio porch to mix with the breezes coming in from the south.  I am planning on staying indoors during this spell.  I have barely said “Hello” to my sewing studio for weeks.  During that hiatus my goal was to get the garage scraping done.  Nailed it, complete with some painting!  I will be content cooling my heels for cooler temperatures before putting my painting dudes on for the next round. 

By the way Dennis’ hamburger hotdish from last night was fantastic.  A great mix of sauteed onions, browned ground beef, a brick of creamed cheese, Alfredo sauce and pasta.  Dennis is right on, it would be a good dish when family comes over. 

Stay safe in the heat.  Hydrate often and I pray the sweat flows easily . . . the self-coolant of our bodies is amazing.  I am one who can sweat easily and that makes it hard to get my pants pulled down and then pulled up when the bathroom visits call.  I hear from those who don’t sweat easily, the heat is hard on them.
