okay now it's hot

Well, we got the summer weather that's been in the forecast. The humidity is up and it's in the 90s for a few days. It's garbage day and I was outside about 6:30 this morning hauling bags to the berm and the air is really heavy and warm. You can see the humidity haze. A lot of times when weather like this breaks and cools off we end up with some sort of severe weather. I'll keep you posted!

I had the grandkids for a few hours yesterday. They sure are busy.... I checked to make sure the laundry room door didn't get closed again. Didn't want another kitty incident. See this post.

There was no knitting yesterday. Mainly because of babysitting and online shopping for yarn! I'm anxious to get fingering weight yarn for the Upstairs Shawl for 2nd DDIL. I talked to her yesterday and asked what colors she likes or doesn't like. And she said she doesn't wear any yellow or much for orange. So that gives me a lot of things to pick from. If I could find a pretty garnet or plum color I think that would be super. And she also said she likes blue. She has a couple black dresses that she could use this shawl with. I'm excited.

Farming update: On Tuesday they swathed the winter wheat and are hoping to combine it today. I hope it works because there is rain in the forecast and nothing ruins grain in the swath faster than a bunch of rain. fingers crossed

Well, I maybe have a bit of watering to do or my pots on the patio are going to suffer in this heat.

Later.
