Hot & humid

The "dog days of summer".  The humidex is 38 for today and tomorrow and then, just in time for the long weekend it gets cool and rainy. My week off has been  busy, but I took yesterday off and did no work at all.  Today it is back to the garden. I don't think we have ever had so many, and such large green peppers! The neighbour is coming over to help us clean out our fire pit.  We usually take multiple wheel barrows full and dump them in the bush.  He is bringing his gator so that we can do it all in one load.  then he and Jim are going to check out the propane system in our camper van.  There is no fruit at all in  our area this year.  Everything was killed off by the early spring storm.  And people that have apples are finding them all wormy or rotten.  Our neighbours have 2 large apple trees and got 4 apples this year.  I still have a bag of saskatoons in the freeser from last year.  Pati, if you ever decide you want to purge your material supply again please let my daughter know.  She is now into sewing all sorts of little things, like cup holders, pencil cases, shoulder bags etc.  I think a quilt is also on her list to attempt.  It seems her artistic skills have emerged as she is also doing a lot of painting and metal pressing, as well as still writing.  The window replacement is going slowly at work.  They have only done 5 windows so far, but the government requires them to do full sealed hoarding on the workspace and have negative air flow inside the hoarding.  Time to start the day.  My first cup of tea is delicious and I am ready for the next.
