    It is so hot...

    I looked out the window and noticed this squirrel "resting" on the top of my water fountain. He was there for about 15 minutes when I decided to see if I could get a picture. Took this about 6:30 p.m. and the temp was still 94 degrees. I think he was begging for me to turn on the fountain but I was afraid the force of the water would blow him off and he would die of fright instead of thirst.

          Do you have squirrels in Hawaii? My 2 dogs do NOT approve of them. They come eat the bird food out of the feeder in the back yard. Very naughty.

            We only have chickens. Up in the mountains there are deer and goats. We have wild pigs in our yard sometimes,But I don't eat meat. I won't get into what other people eat. Just watch your pets.

                My squirrels are looking very well fed from stealing every green tomato off my tomato plants! Little varmints!

                  You people make me laugh, "It's so hot!" I have worn sandals only once this summer and shorts not at all. Barely hit 75. I know you are jealous. But I am hoping it stays like this cause State Fair starts in two weeks and I do not want it to be too hot for me to eat my way from one end of the fair to the other!! Cream puffs, ice cream, bacon, I can't wait!!

                      Yesterday was our first slightly cooler day in a week and that was because it rained. Most days were 97 and that is before heat index was figured in...and boy are we humid! Summer in the South!

                      I enjoyed the slightly cooler day and was able to stay upstairs and sew most of it. The small window AC upstairs was able to keep up. I really do appreciate air conditioning!

                            Carrie - if I turn on the fountain it increases the mosquito population and if I don't I get "draping" squirrels. At least if he's laying up there he's not eating my porch furniture. They love resin!!! And obviously Jean's tomatoes.

                              sprinkle red pepper flakes around the tomatoes and on the plant
                              won't hurt the plant but will keep the squirrels away
                              cayenne pepper also works well
                              i thought a thought that i thought i had thought but the thought that i had thought wasnt the thought that i had thought i had thought so maybe if i had thought the thought that i thought i thought i wouldn't of thought so much
