Well, the recent heatwave broke last night. It'll be 10 degrees cooler today and the foreseeable future - normal summer temperatures. But that outdoor issue is replaced by pretty heavy smoke from Canadian wildfires. The map of active fires up north in the Yukon area is showing widespread fire. It's mostly wilderness; so not readily accessible to try to contain it. And the silly US response of trying to hold Canada accountable is.... rediculous.
It is unhealthy to be outside much for most people. Maybe for a short time, low exertion activity. So my holes to plant my roses are still going to have to wait. I have solid places for two, at this point. Lots of indoor stuff to do anyway. That I keep procrastinating about.
Not a whole lot going on otherwise. Deck is basically complete; the project manager said he would show up to take care of some minor loose ends but I haven't heard from him. Nothing we can't do ourselves. Now to look for someone to seal it & the studio deck; and seal/paint the trim on the house. Maybe late fall; maybe early next spring. Then I think - barring any storm damage - we're mostly done. I need to clean & paint the downstairs doors at the studio garage and touch up at the studio, too.
Sewing & mending are starting to pile up so a couple days on that will be good.
Hops, how are things with you? Are you finding enough stuff to eat what with this parasite issue going around? I've been (re)discovering pasta salads, potato salad, and 3 bean type salad variations. How are you and BN getting on?
Meh - sounds like you're due a lucky streak... in friends, job, general living experience. Fingers crossed you find something to get excited about!
