The heat wave has arrived. We hit a high of 93°F and yet another day of no garden work done. Weeds prevail. It would have been a good year to invest in a solar oven (in my best sarcastic but realistic voice, lol!) Too hot to enjoy one bit of porch time, but we all knew it was coming with the massive spring rains we got. Hubby sleeps all day, so indoor work has to be at a minimum as to where it won't wake him up - no vacuuming, loud anything. I managed to wash 3 blankets and got them on the clothesline early. I also made a cold healthy treat for him in case he didn't feel like eating dinner on during this very hot week - homemade hummus and organic celery sticks. I went outside very early to tend the chickens, pick plantain, picked radishes, water the half dead flowers (veggie garden looked okay), in preparations for possible afternoon/evening thunderstorms. We got a downpour about 3pm. Thankful for that....
