Too hot to walk barefoot on my wood deck, 98 yesterday, last night was nice
72 for the low and I slept well without the air running and windows open
during the night. Today expected to have a high around 93 Fahrenheit.

Tomatoes seem to go no where, my cucumbers are growing like gangbusters in
this hot weather. Leaf lettuce bolting, green beans seem to suffer, corn
needs more rain badly. Lawn is scraggly and dry needle like on the footsies


Indoors, lots of baking with the air on, humidity is low in the house so I
think a pan fudge, fresh bread and peach cobbler is on the order for the
day. Too hot outside for grilling, I'll burn my little toes off on my back
deck. So Chicken and Dumplings with the peach cobbler sounds good to me and
therefore I won't be loosing any weight soon.

Shoes and old age just does not go well with me anymore
