The Hottest Day

July 22 , 23, 2011


Hi! Hot enough for us, lol? My Weatherbug thing says 103*! Wow. Just think 6, 7 months ago it was a HUNDRED degrees cooler. Too bad we can't bottle that cold air.


What do you do on the hottest day? I filled my biggest old Mason jar with pink lemonade....



Made a big bowl of chicken salad---in case the power goes off...
Friday night dinner will be classic Illinois/ Ohio farm supper of corn on the cob and fried tomatoes w/ a smidge of cream gravy! Then I'll waddle off to the beach for an evening swim....


Tomorrow should be cooloer---just 100*?


A day to sit under a beach umbrella with one's knitting? Toes cooling in the gentle surf....


Here's a new project, a string market bag for autumn vegs, like squash and pumpkins. Yes I am dreaming of crisp autumn days....


I put crisp all white vintage linens on the beds....


And summery quilts which get instantly tossed aside....


And I am sending up thank you vibes to the guy who invented air conditioning! That sea breeze thing just isn't doing it for us today.


Stay cool....

have good weekend!


love
