It's Hot!

 

I am still getting a few stalks of asparagus, and now a few dandelions each day.  I picked one stalk of asparagus on June 8th, and so far that was the last.  Best year for it yet.  I continue to collect dandelion flowers.

The heat is here now.  It was in the upper 90's yesterday and we finally got a good downpour to give the gardens a good dose of Mother Nature.  

The heat will heat up even more over the next two days, so I am praying all the new plants and flowers/seeds will be handling it well.  Not sure it will happen, but the forecast is to be in the lower 100's over the next two days.

Soon to be back on the crochet hook . . .

I have had another request for these hand crocheted baby washcloths.  I was actually ready to retire the yarn, finish the current crochet project request, but will keep the yarn. It will be a nice all-summer project, that is light weight to work on, during hot days.  The yarn is cotton, 2 ply, and a discontinued yarn I bought many years ago.  I have one person I can gift some too, and will be donating some to a local pregnancy center.

....but first, I must make some days available to finish my current project.

Coffee cubes are back in the freezer.  They are used to cool down a very hot cup, iced coffee or anything requiring brewed coffee.  Nothing wasted.  After seeing the price of our organic coffee beans go very high this month, there was no way I as letting any leftover coffee go down the drain.  I love these ice cube trays too.  They are smaller, and the lids fit tight enough, they don't spill upward when carrying to the freezer, and they pop out easily.

Stay cool.  Bless someone. Make time for someone.
