There have been days when I just think ice cream sounds good for dinner, and I don't want to cook. However, one night I threw together a pasta dinner with what was on hand (too hot to hit the grocery store for restocking).
We still have some corn and beets in the freezer, so veggies are still supplying us, but I had to be creative with the pasta dish.

Weeds ~ Raccoons
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.
