Today is the coronation of King Charles III. I’ve looked at some pictures on my computer, but I’m not going to follow the whole process. I’ve never been ‘excited’ about Britain’s monarchy. I hope it all goes as planned with no problems of any kind.

Our weather continues to surprise me. (We’re just southeast of Fort Smith). While hoping for some sunshine, I wasn’t expecting a high temperature of high 80’s or low 90’s today. I guess we can turn off the heat inside? :0)

I will get outside later and see what’s happening with our plant life. I may do harvest #2 from the garden.

Hoping for a calm, quiet day. Happy Saturday.

May you feel cuddled today.

The “spraying-the-garden-boxes” project is moving very slowly. I found TWO more sprayers in boxes in the garage yesterday, but discovered they ONLY had the container, NOT the sprayer attachment that is supposed to come with them. It’s far too late to take them back. I fiddled around with the two sprayer attachments we do have for the current containers, but couldn’t get them to work. I’ll ask my husband to take a look at them today to see if he can make one of them work.

It’s hard to believe that we’re going to have a heat wave this coming week. It’s supposed to be the beginning of FALL, and we’ll have temperatures of around 100 with heat indices. Oh, GOOD!

Today is DAY 65 on my daily yoga practice. I’m doing a bit better on the new poses I’ve added. I can tell because I’ve got some NEW sore muscles to add to my old ones. :0) Yesterday both my dog, Amber, and my cat, Abby, wanted to participate. I finally got the message across that I preferred to do the yoga poses by myself.

While my husband is hopefully figuring out how to make a sprayer attachment work, I will be vacuuming another dog’s worth of hair from our tiled areas plus the carpet on the first floor. You would think our dog would be totally bald by now, but apparently growing more hair and shedding the old is her life’s work. We really missed the boat on figuring out something we could DO with all this hair….

I hope your Sunday is a quiet, calm, lovely one.

It’s Just TOO Many TOO’s

It’s hard to keep up with all the Heat Advisories, Excessive Heat Warnings, Red Flag Alerts, Burn Bans, etc. around here. We’re under all of them today. It’s an actual temperature of 105. Who knows what the heat index is. All I know is that it’s just TOO everything and I’m really grateful I can stay in the air conditioning. I got out and checked our tomatoes and took the trash down to the bottom of the driveway, but otherwise, I’m IN.

My husband drove down to get the mail a few minutes ago and said the trash was still down there. I’m really HOPING the good trash people come and take it away. With our luck, it’s too hot for their trucks, too…

I’m going to go for sparkly star #4 for my yoga session. I hope you’re staying cool.
