Oh Lordy, What a Month...

At least it's getting cooler outside! We're only in the high 80s now, and it often dips to the 70s at night. (Sorry, Texans.) The garden is loving all this warmth -- I had to go out this weekend and argue with the weeds, who were intent on setting up their own military junta. So far, though, I'm winning. And the slowly revving up bean harvests (plus the group of cute little white pattypan squash) show their gratitude.


There is an interesting little snap in the air, though -- could fall be starting to make its way here? Well, no matter. There are still plenty of people (us included) who could benefit from this list of easy ways to keep cool, courtesy of Get Rich Slowly.

We're still dealing with a stripped, dungeon-like basement, thanks to the water leak over Memorial Day weekend. And to top that off, we've had a long, personal situation which has caused much heartache. (It's still not resolved, though I think the emotional peak has been reached.) It's made it tough to get much of anything completely finished, though I've made stabs at several things.

Ah well. Husband just called: he's got tickets to the latest Rockies game. We'll sit in the stands, eat popcorn, and hopefully watch them win and get us cheap tacos. (4 for $2 if the Rocks score more than 7 runs -- from 4-6 p.m. at Taco Bell.)

Life goes on.
