While eating lunch I did some plant research. I discovered that I was wrong in thinking that tomatillo was another name for Virginia ground cherry. They are different plants, what I have in the yard is Virginia ground cherry. Both plants produce edible fruits, but all other parts of the plant are toxic. Not that I'm planning to eat any part of them.

Okay...so after changing the forecast back to 90 this morning, the temp seems to never have gone over 86 this afternoon, now it's down to 83. I went outside for about 45 minutes, the only things I did during that time was the bird baths and water bowls, and then I set the hose to soak all around the tree while I sat on a chair in the shade of the porch. It definitely felt better today or I wouldn't have been able to stay out for 45 minutes, but it was still hot and muggy or I would have done more weeding. I saw one bee, one cabbage white butterfly, and while inspecting the beautiful fleabane, I saw one teeny tiny bee, the body must have been 2mm long. Fleabane has miniature daisy like blooms that are white with a yellow center, and when you look closely at them they're so perfectly formed and beautiful. Unfortunately they only bloom through the end of June.
Now I have to cool off again. I have so many big projects to do but just can't do them until the weather cools off, so I'm working on challenge goals and emails, and little not-so-important things that I normally never feel like I have time to do.

Wow, the temp dropped into the 70s! Tomorrow it will be back up to 91, but tonight I'm going to open windows upstairs. There's rain in the area but it looks like it will pass us by, again.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!

Hi Diane, sounds like you've had excellent momentum today!
I feel like I'm at a point of making progress. More in some areas than others - our spare room is depressing me but that's a job for the summer. It's nice to see my en suite looking actually halfway clean for a change. Progress not perfection still a very necessary mantra.
Done: Sent off Shein return (finally!) Vacuumed bedroom Prep Amazon return Find out what is wrong with mirrors, resolve it, clean them - it's apparently an issue with steam getting between the layers, we need to replace them, so a possible Ikea trip on Saturday coming up.... Got to email zero in my inbox Achieve coffee table zero Wipe down coffee table Achieve dining table zero Achieve floor clothes zero Set out clothes for tomorrow Cleared air dryer Trash sweep Watered plants in kitchen Spray down shower Clean bath Reorganised bath toiletries onto new bath shelves Clean base boards middle hallway Clean base boards upper stairs Sorted through towel rail contents and PEEPed them PEEPed bedroom clutter Dusted TV Dusted shelving unit Threw out some old tech boxes

We had a small storm pass through - intense but short. There are trees down and limbs blocking roads just one street over from my house.. It did cool the air a little. It is supposed to be "only" 88 tomorrow.....
That's all I have, I am tired and heading to bed
I did finally get that pesky load of clothes into the washing machine!!

Good morning!
I went out for my hour in the yard, it was pleasant for a change. High today is 92, but at least it was nice at 5:30am! The sun is now out in force.
I saw 3 bees and one interesting spider, with very long legs.

Good morning, all!
I am leaving in a few hours for a visit with my family. I need to pack and I want to at least go over the spots I have been trying to maintain the past couple of weeks. I am not rushing. Taking my time.

Did not feel well when I got up = but I got up regardless. I went to help at the local elementary school and now I am home. I am feeling slightly better and it is much nicer out. The storm last night watered my plants.
I think I am going to run to the grocery store real quick. and drop off a box at the post office - which means I need to find the paqcking tape. I have so many rolls but they are all hiding on me!

Next I'm going to PEEP this porch room back to baseline, and then it will be time for lunch. I have lots of things to do on the first floor, but I don't want to leave the room with the air conditioner in it.
