It gets plenty hot here to suit me! I hope you had a happy anniversary. Ours was this month too but we didn't do much but will celebrate later. Hubby just had arthroscopic surgery and I have not been feeling well. Sounds like you still accomplish a lot! Take care.

Wow! 16 is old for a cat! Yes, that would be hard to face! We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw them the first day! There were two then. The next day there were three! It was amazing to see them swim by, so close to swimmers unaware! I don't know about a wolf or bear! That sounds scary to me! Lots of rain? Wished we had some! Freeze? I think I'll take my heat, thank you very much! So sorry you were sick! Hope you're all better now! My garden is in the straight sun when I get up. I have to wait until it's in the shade. Then I get eat up with mosquitoes! I've never had them so bad! I'm making me some homemade bug spray today! Thank you! It's hard to believe we've been married that long! But it has passed so quickly!

The garden is doing well so far in spite of the heat! Same predictions here I believe! So hot already this morning! Thank you! You too!

They named it "Polar Vortex" - what is your's called...we will have to make one up....<br /><br />I'm so sorry about your dog. I understand all too well! I've lost 3 dear dogs in our married life. Our Minnie is going to me 15 soon. She is so, blind, boney and gimpy. We give her vitamins with joint stuff - she just is old. I have 2 dear barn cats that are 16 - I have a feeling I might face several losses in a row.<br /><br />Your vacation looked fun, minus the broken finger and food poisioning. When I was reading you said the dangers that lurk below - I thought you were going to say shark - those attacks have been terrible! I'll take my chances with a bear or wolf up here. LOL<br /><br />Your garden is looking good. We have had lots of rain up here. While I was in Peru it actually froze 2 times. I need to replant my beans. I too have learned - the hard way mind you - to pick up the grass, weeds and throw them outside the fence of the garden or they just grow back. I know what you mean about weeding really goood early on - makes gardening so much more manageable. I keep telling myself this now any way. I lost like a week when I got back because I was sick - it was already weedy anyway. I've been out there early mornings all week for 4 hours before the biting bugs get bad. <br /><br />Congratulations on 24 years - Happy Anniversary!<br /><br />Dicky Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536124018936958985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386096058136077226.post-83841085811702329552015-06-19T03:56:06.535-07:002015-06-19T03:56:06.535-07:00Wow, where to begin!

I still miss my Sandy and she's been gone @3 years now. Lots of memories were made on this recent vacation for you guys. Your garden looks fantastic! We're having the heat here too with temps in mid-high 90s and heat indexes over 100 daily. Next week projected to be even hotter. Stay cool!
