I met my friend at the splash pad. It is really hot out! But the kids had so much fun splashing away!
I bought some potato salad on the way home to have with the chicken. It is gross. Aldi makes such a good potato salad. Too hot to eat right now.
OK -maybe I will match socks in the cool comfort of the bedroom....

I have finished dinner and just looked at the current temp, it is 90 and feels like 95. I want to go out and do just a tiny bit of watering tonight, but I guess it will still be very uncomfortable. I will try to get to bed a little early so I can read, I'm reading a really good historical fiction book that has to be returned to the library by Thursday, so I need to finish it by the end of tomorrow.
Good night everyone, see you in the morning!

Good morning womble! What plant did you take a cutting from?
I did my hour of watering and weeding this morning, it's already uncomfortable out there, it's about 80 degrees out now. I saw a few bees, one giant one was on the forking larkspur.
Today's high will be 95 with a heat index of 100. I keep looking to the end of the 10 day forecast for relief but there's not much there.

Hi Diane, my Chinese money plant (pilea peperomioides) is producing lots of babies from its base now I've got to grips with looking after it.
It must be difficult to get anything done in that sort of heat xx

Oh womble, that's so cool--I didn't know those made offsets! So did you figure out you were watering it too much? Or too little? Or was it something else? I still want to get one of those--and a parlor palm. But I won't let myself get anything new until I go through all my plants and put some outside and give up on some others.
I will try lists again today and just do them slowly.

Well, the move was last Saturday and I am pretty well settled in, although things back at my house were left in some disarray. Can't worry about that now because the surgery will be on Friday. Yesterday and today, I have been arranging belongings and notifying many places of my change of address. So I am also getting more used to my new laptop. Doing cat care too. Also I have been talking to staff at the hospital about pre-op things as well.
The cats were very afraid when we moved and spent a bunch of time under my bed. They gradually came around though and now are not afraid of my DD's 2 small dogs, Phoebe and Luke. The cat, Mia, is still concerned about my 2 large boy cats, so there has been little interaction cat-wise.
I am going to make a list of items that I didn't bring and should have. Then in a couple of weeks, we will try to get rid of and pack some things from my house.
My best to all.
