The heat continues. We had a high of 92°F, so I was out pretty early to water the gardens. My sprinkler decided to work when it wanted, so it has to be replaced now. It will not rotate all the time, and handling the hose to water everything is a 2 hour job.
I let the chickens out pretty early now as well, put frozen water bottles in their watering units and then later re-do it again when the heat hits the worst. Let's just say, there is no porch time going on right now. We could use a nice breeze.
We had some excitement in our parts. Two inmates escaped the jail in my hometown. I was on alert, and yesterday they caught them in a town I go to often. Anyway......
I'm finally all caught up with dental appointments. It took them a month to get my permanent crown done. Glad that is all over with. I went in for a cleaning, and they found I had chipped a tooth, which ended with 4 total visits. I went ahead and booked my next cleaning, as they are booking almost a year out. I'm not kidding either.
I also scored some good deals I was not looking for. First, 2# organic ground turkey for $3.49. I cooked them up, and froze them for this next week. I also got 3# organic baby bella mushrooms - all dehydrated. I paid $1.34/a pound for the mushrooms.
I finally got my eggs boiled. I have a dinner dish to use them with, and I wanted them on hand for snacking. Now I need to start stashing more fresh eggs in the carton for the next time, but they are not all laying in this heat. One is slacking out there.
It looks like we will have to replace our main AC. We are hoping it will last this summer, but the buttons on the front will not work anymore. Thankfully, I found the remote that went to it, so I can at least change the settings from that.
I found a recipe book with Mom's notes on it. There are a few strange ones that I will try soon. By strange, I mean different.

ooh those blue flowers are pretty. I ordered some blue sunflower seeds off Etsy last year but it was to late in the season to plant. I planted them this year, I will be very interested if they bloom, and will be surprised if they are blue. You don't see many blue flowers. The Borage seeds produce a pretty blue flower. Too hot to soon here. Rain is better than hose water anyday. But it is keeping my garden alive. Glad they caught the two getaways.
Faith, I have wanted to add something blue to the flower beds for years, and I am so happy to finally find these. They have such a beautiful color.
