We are in the throes of triple digit heat and I am not expecting it to get better until the middle of September. The weather men are just saying that it is part of a cycle.
It doesn't bother me as much as it does Ted. He has had a couple of heat strokes.

For a keeping up with the neighbors reason, Ted has insisted that our yard needed some Weed and Feed....this has to be the worst time of year to do this. He did it anyway which means we have to water all we can before they put a limit on watering. Then all our lawns will be the same shade of desolate brown.

The little girls and I made cookies last night. They were oatmeal with caramel chips, coconut and pecans. They were very good and Ellie wants them to learn to cook. I keep trying to teach them and they are very willing since they get to eat whatever they make. Last nights rule was: "always use real butter."
