Hubby and I spent the 4th working. He mowed (which is still not done), and I weeded. I got a dent into it anyway. It was a high of 92°F and a higher heat index - hot, hot, and hot. Rain is in the forecast today again too.
Hubby was the first to try out my homemade Aloe-Plantain cubes for sunburn relief too. He said it felt great and this morning he's not complaining.
We've started on restocking our split wood again. There was a dent made into that job too on the 4th. We retired early, and put the last air conditioner in finally. Whew!
As far as handiwork goes, I managed to finish up a pot holder set. I had to stick with small projects on my humid porch. We've even put a fan out there now.

Random Tidbits
I had every intention of weeding Monday morning, but Youngest actually got out of bed early and we had some porch time. Truth be told, I was not running on all cylinders and the "gas tank" was on drizzle.
The more we sipped coffee and chatted, the more I talked myself right out of weeding. The weather said rain at 11am, so I detoured my work possibilities.
Then later, the rain was delayed, and I was already showered and cleaned up. The good news is the red raspberries are coming in nicely this year. Yum. I took a quick look-see at the garden and the zucchini is on, and boy it looks like we'll have a boat load this summer.
