I stopped for lunch and a reading break. I tried to go outside before but the sun was so bright it actually hurt my eyes. I think there should be at least a little chunk of shade next to the house by now so I'm going to go back out there and see if there's anything I can accomplish.

Well, I didn't accomplish a whole lot outside, only a few areas were shady and the others were way too hot. I weeded all the shady areas and dug a couple of holes where I will put plants later tonight or tomorrow morning. I also moved my laundry to the dryer on the way in.
When I came inside I saw that my shopping friend left a message so I will call her and I'm sure we'll talk the rest of the afternoon. I will get a large glass of ice water so at least I will be able to cool off while talking!

Long phone call with my shopping friend, which ended with her saying "I'll call you tomorrow"!
I'm going to have dinner, and then retrieve my laundry from the basement. If I still have energy I will go out to the yard for 20 minutes or so, it has gotten cooler outside.
Good night everyone, see you in the morning!

Evening all! Felt good today to get into the spare room today for the first time in months. It's definitely by necessity a bit of a dumping ground as we have so little storage space in this house. It's still got too much in it, but now has clearer floor space and surfaces somewhat

Good morning reve and ohblondie!
Built an overdoor storage unit with the aim of clearing stuffed animals from the sofa
Love this way of taking advantage of extra space!

I'm sure most people are not happy about this since it's a holiday weekend and they probably have outdoor activities planned, but the entire day is forecast to be cloudy with periods of rain. I'm SO happy! Yet another day or two without having to water. We already had thunder and a short burst of rain about half an hour ago. I was out to the yard early today and spent an hour and a half working with very few rest periods--probably not a good idea because now my back hurts but it was so COOL and beautiful out there! What a difference working in this weather compared to in the middle of the day in the sun. I'm concentrating on clearing one corner of the yard which got very overgrown. I also finally cleaned out the big blue bin and moved it kind of under the porch behind two of the garbage cans--I put some of the extra compost and mulch bags in there. That neatened things up a little. I need to make a little list of the most important next garden projects for my desk so I don't just walk around aimlessly outside--which is a tempting thing to do now that things are starting to bloom. Last night I noticed the cinquefoil and the fleabane are starting to flower.
I also saw my first cicada yesterday--not on the ground though, it was flying high above and being chased by a bird. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/a_ovwCML4pZfUTz3uePk.gif) I could hear it making noise though, and remember that sound from other years when the annual cicadas were being chased by birds. But the annual ones don't come out til the end of summer so this one had to be a periodical one. Later in the day I was filling a watering can from the rain barrel and on top of the barrel was what looked like a cicada wing! So...those are my two cicada experiences so far.
I have some windows open to let this cool air in, it feels amazing. I hope this perfect weather will help me have a productive day.

weekend! I am outside listening to a very very loud machine, I can't figure out what it is, sounds like more than a mower. they have a tall fence so ok I went upstairs and looked out a window and it was a mower but a kind to ride on, but upright like a scooter not a sit down. thankfully they finished. life in the suburbs is hearing one lawn mower after the next. leaf blowers are the worst
anyway, all I have done so far is put away clean dishes, wash dishes, feed animals, play three rounds of fetch, and watched church online.
yesterday I told DD she could have the car from late afternoon on, so I did my errands earlier. I love driving around doing errands, I love the freedom of it! I took my car in for an oil change and a tire rotation, glad that is done, was overdue. returned bottles. Then I went to a few stores. Did not know libraries here were closed for the holiday weekend so I had the disappointment of arriving to a dark library! I splurged and went to a bookstore for some beach read stuff, just to indulge on this weekend. went grocery shopping and put all that away. cleaned the litter. did the dishes. took puppy for a walk. and that was the day! I was proud because when I got home from puppy walk I was tempted to head right to reading but I forced myself to wash dishes first and clean litter and take out trash. But then I did not read !! I ended up surfing.
I am not sure what to do today. I have so many choices! Puppy walk is a given. I should also do my bills, and there is some of DD college stuff in garage that I want to move to basement, and set up her mini fridge in garage so I can use it.
I have a horrible task looming ahead - girlcat has been making little messes in hidden corners of the basement. I need to clean that up. It is so gross. I take my garden mat and scrub but it is so gross. She is over 20 now and her litter usage is not what it used to be. She is a little treasure though. I can see some changes in her. She spends most of her time now in a hide out spot in the spare room. but she still likes to go out and sit on the porch every day, is eating and drinking, and is more loving and seeking affection. each day is a gift.
Diane, here is the animal quote I mentioned last week is by Henry Beston. It is my favorite ....here is part of it: "For the animal shall not be measured by man In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."

Good afternoon oust!
I'm going to stop for lunch. We had a good, hard rain for a while, now it's mostly stopped but there's another storm chance tonight, this one with possible hail and tornadoes. I actually had to close the window in the room the bird is in because it was getting too chilly in there!
