We are under a tornado watch/warning.......The next few hours should be interesting.
We visited my dad and went back home between storms. I think it is ready to rain again...... And off I go

I love all the "zeros" in your done lists, reve!
I went outside again, this time the sun was shining brightly and it was hot! I cut 2 stakes in half and used 3 half stakes, and 2 full size ones. I can't stop saying how easy the job is with the drill--compared to my trying to dig a hole straight down with a weeder or something--or trying to hammer the stake into the dirt--it was impossible. The garden looks much neater than it did this morning.
There were a lot more friends in the yard this afternoon--I saw at least 9 bees, 4 at once on the lavender and 3 on the forking larkspur. I saw a black swallowtail and a cabbage white. And, after I came inside and went onto the upper porch to put birdseed out, I stopped to look down at the yard from the upper perspective as I like to do--and I saw a hummingbird!! ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/RneJDSdEQAecGsiTRshw.gif) Around the forking larkspur. I wish I had stayed out just a little longer to see it from eye level, but I could tell it was a hummingbird for sure.
So things are heating up out there (literally and figuratively).

I live in Nikes, but I did pass a Skechers store yesterday and they had some great looking shoes that did make me wonder about trying them. I had a pair of Skechers boots that I adored, though did irrationally get nervous about wearing latterly as I tore the ligaments off my ankle really badly while wearing them (it really wasn't their fault, but still). I need to clear out my shoe unit in the hallway as I've totally forgotten the pairs that are in there.
Hope all is well ohblondie!
Diane, I'm thinking about adding "side table zero" now that I have, at least temporarily, popped our old bedside tables into the living room - they match the wood down there better than the super cheap nested tables I bought as a student. I organised them all yesterday and the glass tops look so nice in being clear and clean!
Done: Baseboards outside downstairs bathroom Laundry from machine to dryer 2 Achieve dining table zero Achieve coffee table zero Clean laundry taken upstairs Spray down shower Put new laces in new shoes
I didn't get steam mopping the kitchen floor done. The heat this evening was awful - after all that other folks on here have been suffering it seems like it's my turn - and I just couldn't face it. Hopefully tomorrow won't be as hot as forecast or I may have to settle for a spot clean.
Tomorrow: Clear vacuum and water bottles from middle hallway Mop kitchen Possibly mop master bathroom too Pack dresses for vacation Make sure second suitcase is empty Bag up towel rail for throwing out Maybe wet dust living room shelves? They seemed like they could do with an extra go over earlier today Figure out if there is a quick win I could do with the space in the new bookcase - maybe move my childhood books there and use the spare bedroom bookcase for seasonal items that are cluttering the spare room

Hello scholar!
Reve, I hope you're not going to get a prolonged heat wave like some other places. Today was cooler and even though I still consider it too warm, it was such a relief after mid-90s. Tomorrow should be okay too.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow in the weekday thread!
Diane

My college friend had on what looked like a very comfortable pair of sketchers when she was visiting recently. I am tempted....but only if I get rid of work shoes. I will keep one pair of navy and one pair of black pumps.
I brought my mom to visit my dad. It poured while we were visiting but it kindly stopped so we could leave and get home dry. I think someone posted a potential funnel cloud on FB - about 20-30 mins west of here.
I went and helped DD for a few hours. I stopped to get two things at Aldis for DH and ended up with a cart full of groceries for her.
We purged her fridge of numerous science experiments. I washed all of the containers from the fridge. Some of the stuff I put in the dishwasher last week came out with a white film so I re-washed everything by hand.
I brought her a floor steamer so that we can attack the floors. She was talking about reorganizing her cupboards so I think the nesting is kicking in.
I came home and made sure there were no dirty dishes in my sink, that the clean dishes were put away and I prepped the coffee pot for tomorrow
I found the roll of packing tape and I will mail the box to my friend out west that flew here for my recent reunion. It sat in my car for over a week and has been sitting in my kitchen for almost another!
Tomorrow might be the day I get all these little pesky chores wrapped up
