My house felt cooler when I got home which put me in such a better mood.

We try to carry on with our lives and responsibilities as usual--and it's tough! I long to be out and about--hate to feel cooped up inside, watching the world thru glass. But, I know fall will bring renewed activity and added obligations. Maybe this heat is a time to rest and ready for what's to come?<BR/>Sip a cool drink and just sit.nina at Nature Remains.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07888238636692649668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-73460864147437929212007-08-10T06:53:00.000-04:002007-08-10T06:53:00.000-04:00Maxine is great!

We cleaned the rug the best we could last evening, and then didn't eat dinner! He had a heart worm pill the day before and had just finished his antibiotics from his dental work. Who knows?

That was very neat seeing the hummingbirds taking their shower. I had no idea they enjoyed that so much. <BR/><BR/>The hibiscus is a knock-out! What a lovely red. I just have the white with pink centers - boring..<BR/><BR/>My little pond looks very much like your big one - almost covered with water plants. The water lettuce (celery) and hyacinth are reproducing like mad - they love this heat. I'm going to fill a big ceramic pot with water and float some in there.
