If you saw yesterday's post, I was up pretty early. I had to laugh when daughter came downstairs, and actually put her pup in the kennel. She said, "he's been out but wake me up at 8am."
Of course I let him out, fed him and loved on him until 8am. We needed to kennel him to go to the school and do the "school" thing, which was a good half hour drive just to get there. Poor pup. I so wanted to take him with us.
The school stuff messed up my day at home. Add to that a trip to Michael's and the Dollar Tree. My last yarn order came with half missing. I had to see if I could pick up at least one ball of black. I emailed about the missing items, but haven't heard back yet.
We also had to stop at my Mom's house. She wanted milkweed plants so I pulled some from my flower bed and dropped those off.
It was almost a perfect day to weed. It drizzled all morning long. but by the time we were back home, there was no time. It was also hot again.

Beating the Heat
We woke up to almost 80°F at 5:30am yesterday. Yeah, it started out hot, and continued. I could only hope we got more rain. We hit a high of 106°F heat index yesterday.
Woke up to the sweet sound of rain early this morning. It'll be hotter today than yesterday, so I'm sure I'll be taking crushed ice to the chickens.
I got another bracelet done (requested colors). Seven more to make yet. I actually got 10 orders. They are turning out so nicely too, but I'll be raising the price. It's a good way to use indoor time, but the bathroom needed cleaned too. Youngest was home, so she helps count the 196 beads for me, and helps string them. I may need to raise the price after these 7 are all done. I hope to get some made this summer for the fall holiday show I do. I think they would sell very well. So glad I tried the art of crocheting with beads.
Carpet shampooing will happen after this humidity leaves though. The dehumidifier is going strong, and I have to empty it several times a day right now.
We are invited to a family breakfast, and they are super picky eaters. They won't eat onions, bell peppers, jalapenos - nothing but plain stuff. I had no idea what to take, until I remembered my very old homemade cinnamon rolls. Then again, they take walnuts. Wasn't sure if anyone didn't like walnuts, so I asked first. Next time, I'll take overnight blueberry french toast (if I can find my recipe). Photos to come soon.
I also dug around for a recipe for the crock pot using chicken. I did NOT want to leave the house in this heat, so I used homemade ranch dressing (dry mix) to make crock pot "crack" chicken casserole. Thankfully, I had frozen peas and bacon in the freezer. It was good too. Easy and delicious.
I infused nettle tea for the both of us, but Hubby needed it the most. He came home from work feeling very sickly from the heat.
