Jonni is fine. She's still living here and she finally shook her last boyfriend. She gets off doing all kinds of arts and crafts things. And makes messes.

Sweet dreams all. I'm going to see if I can talk Teddy into going to bed a wee bit early. I'm tired.

Teddy's very last week of school, ever...oh how sad. Is there some kind of adult things he could go to once in awhile ?/ you know to make it special for him ??
Strawberry preserves---yum !! I used to make Blackberry myself. I so miss the fresh jam (I made the jelly recipe into jam by forcing the berries thru the bag, so that I got some of the skin so that the jelly would spread like Jam...yum !!!

Good morning, well I made the jelly out of the tame berries I had...next year I need to add another variety to my garden though. I have been replanting suckers from the momma plants forever and they are slowly fading. It has been to hot to go wild berry picking. I don't know how you take this heat Tina.
Another hot day for today...and I plan not to do to much. I wish we had air conditioning.

Good morning. I was born and raised here. The heat is doable, just not my favorite thing. I am up early. And turned on my cooler already. It's going to get hot today. Today I will shop after taking Teddy to school. And that may be all I do get done other than dinner and dishes, etc. I hope everyone has a lovely day.

Good afternoon. I got Teddy to school and shopped. (And forgot his bananas.) Brought that home and put it away and went back out for gas and picking the kid back up. I came home and laid down for a while but didn't nap. I made a lovely BLT for my lunch. I may lay back down for a real nap.

G'morning all. It's hot now. I had to get up in the middle of the night and turn on my cooler. I hope you all have a great day.

I'll take one of those coolers as well.
I am going to head to town in a few to pick up the grandbaby for a sleepover....and hopefully find another cheap fan while I am there. The older I get the less heat I can take. I was hoping to buy an air conditioner this year but having to buy a new pump for the well over the Winter nixed that plan.

The evaporative coolers work great in dry climates. They don't work well with humidity. Our last heatwave was nearly 0% humidity and my coolers worked great. Today is 33% at nine am and it is struggling. At higher humidity it is useless except as a fan. And even then the water-heavy air is hard to push. Have a great sleepover with your grandbaby, Sunny.

A good day with a nap in there for me. Another hot one tomorrow and I will cool down a little. We don't usually get so hot in June. The heat rolls in later. Usually. It doesn't bode well for the rest of the summer.

The humidity here is awful, we get thunderstorms then extreme heat....the kind of weather we usually see in August. I did find another cheap fan...and you can tell because it is flimsy. Mind you nothing is made like it was years ago no matter what the price. Grandbaby is sleeping and I am trying to persuade GG to go to bed as well. I plan to sleep good under the new fan.

ah a new fan, how wonderful---I SO miss our fan we had back at the "farm". It was a high velocity Patton (the brand) and it was so loud that I used it as "white noise". it was wonderful. It pushed around the air from the window A/C unit we did have. Central air is nice but I love a fan. I had a small one just for me. When I put it away last fall it worked great--this year it would not turn on at all...so it is gone. I hope to find a new one when I get home.
It is going well here....busy but rewarding.
G'nite everyone sweet dreams

The new fan is all plastic so I don't have much faith in it lasting very long. I didn't get my sleep last night, the grandbaby isn't comfortable sleeping anywhere except in his crib so he was up most of the night.
More thundershowers for today.

Good morning. It feels wonderful outside right now. Summer could stay like this for the next 3 months and I would be satisfied. I don't have particular plans right now for this day. But I'm sure I will think of something.

It's warming up here. But supposed to be a tad cooler than yesterday. I got my boy home from school and am vegging now. I had the last of the egg salad for my lunch. I'll have to move on to something else. And it's cooling off a bit which expands my choices. Decisions, decisions....

Sorry for the loss of sleep, Sunny. I guess he will eventually get used to Grammy's house, HUH ???
Tina, YAY for cooler weather....Henry told his mom today that he was going to ask me to "turn out the sun" as it was too hot outside.
Gee, I must be a really smart person, huh????

That's sweet that Henry thinks you have such power, Carol. Good morning. I'm up early. But I can always nap later. I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning. Junie, if you have have control of the weather...then I'm putting in my order. Tina, you need to hook up a stove outside and convince your daughter to do the cooking with heat such as you have all the time, I bet a lot of fresh produce is eaten over big meals. It is raining and damp today....my laundry is piling up. It is too hot to use the dryer and too wet to hang things out.

I have a range top that I can hook up outdoors. (I have it primarily for canning.) Plus a BBQ and things. But the idea of eating hot food is not appealing. You are right. Produce is a big deal around here. Along with cottage cheese and other cheeses. And cold sandwich makings. But the idea of Jonni cooking meals for us is quite funny. She has cooked but is constantly asking questions about it while she does. A kitchen is not her natural habitat. So a day in my life is full of fruits and vegetables with a smattering of sandwiches, bean dips, hummus, a variety of salads and the like. And eggs. Lots of eggs prepared in a variety of ways.

Sounds good.
I like cold pasta salads...in fact I might make one for tomorrow. I have a full day of grass cutting and such starting in the morning.

I am not fond of pasta salads anymore. I like most other kinds of salads. And I love pasta warm in casseroles. Have fun on your mower, Sunny and be careful.
