Strange weather for August—our high temp today was under 70 degrees and it was cloudy a large portion of the day. It rained just a bit during the night—we were hoping for more. After our walk, Michael tended to his irrigating water and I pulled weeds. We have this nasty vine which attaches itself to other plants—the seeds of this plant are little round, sticky green balls which attach themselves to every inch of Emmi when she chooses to do her business around this weed. When I saw her covered in those little green balls once again this morning, I declared war on that weed!
Michael decided today was a good day to work on his truck—the 1995 diesel which several years ago ran well one day and didn’t run the next day. This truck has stumped my handy husband, every summer we drag the truck down the hill and into the garage where Michael tries to figure out what’s wrong with it. A while back, he ordered a set of Ford Motor shop manuals and today he made progress—maybe it will run soon!
After lunch I finished loading LoraLee’s quilt on the frame and started with the design which is going to be stunning—wish I could stay home and work on it tomorrow instead of going to Billings!
The robins flew the coop at some point in time—we now have empty nest syndrome!

It may be strange weather for August, but it's still July! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, it is ALMOST August isn't it??? Sometimes I don't know where my brain is hiding!
DeleteI love the picture. I am going to have to come out to your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteIt was a cool day here yesterday. 70 sounds positively sweltering to us. This morning I was just a whisker away from having to scrape the windshield when I headed off swimming.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, its cooled off just a bit here in the Island as well. Nice photos!!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of your high temp! I think you were close enough on the month:)
