We might have severe thunderstorms tonight, so I am trying to decide if I should drag all my pots and hanging baskets back in the garage again.

Karen: Yikes about the heat! So far we have only had one day at 90 degrees but that all changes at the end of this week. I bet it felt good cleaning out your son's room. If your house is like mine, there's always areas that need cleaning out and decluttering.
Ruth: We need rain but not thunderstorms.
I met my sisters for lunch today. Then worked at the clothing closet. We are always in need of tee shirts and shorts for the men. Came home and walked late this evening.

We had the first day 90 degree day of the heat wave yesterday. Won’t break until Monday next week.

It's 48 degrees at 2:00 pm, so we are definitely not in the heat wave. We had winds, thunder, lightning, lots of rain, but thankfully no hail last night. I went to Dance2fit and hauled all the pots and hanging baskets out of the garage & back to their spots. I plan on Barre tonight.

Good grief, Ruth! 48 degrees in the afternoon in June! GIad you took in your plants last night so they didn't get damaged.
It was almost 90 today. The 90s start on Friday and stick around.
Today I finally redeemed my Christmas gift certificate for a facial. It was fabulous and don't know why I waited until now to go. Think I start going every few months or so.
Walked in the late afternoon. It was hot but luckily there was a nice breeze.

A lady who taught here 40 years ago & her husband are in town on an RV Road Trip. She walked with us this morning, afterwhich one of the ladies hosted a brunch in her yard. Very fun!

Ruth: I bet your teacher friend was impressed with your walking group.
The 90s are here to stay for several days. I prefer to walk in the evenings mainly bc I'm not a morning person lol. But this morning I got up and walked while the temperature was still in the 70s. Currently one of my cats and I are sitting on the deck in the shade with a light breeze. The deck will be in hot sunshine by early afternoon so I'm taking advantage of it now.

Still nice here. I went to HIT & Dance2fit last night, and a mat pilates class this morning. I just got done making a macaroni salad & dessert for DH's family reunion, which is tomorrow (100 miles away, so we can go down & come back in a day.

Walked this morning when it was only 69degrees - by the time I was done it was already hot - 7:45-8:45. Now it's 95 degrees and brutally hot. I finished working in my son's old room in the basement and I sent my daughters pictures. The comment from one was "woaaaah" Yup. He hasn't lived here for several years, but just neglected it. It was easy to ignore as we never went in there. Threw out the broken computer desk and threw out his high school and college notebooks and took text books to Goodwill. Sense of accomplishment 😀
Now I have to tidy up the crawl space - just re-stacking the containers that my daughter and I went through in April. Need to figure out what next to tackle. I have so much "stuff" that I don't use, some was my mother's and grandmother's and even though I don't use and it's sitting in cabinets/drawers etc, it's hard to part with. I need to get over the sentimental part, take pictures and then give it away. Other stuff I bought and sitting in boxes not used - thought I would use and have never opened the boxes - mostly kitchen stuff.
We were in Goodwill the other day and they had bone china for practically nothing. I have my grandmother's - it's English bone china. I can't imagine taking it to Goodwill.
Hope everyone is having a good Sunday and staying cool.

Karen: Some things are easy to let go and others are so difficult. And no one wants china! Or crystal. I have a few crystal bowls from my grandmother and a couple of crystal pitchers that were wedding presents. I don't use any of them but I'm keeping them. But I would sell them if I found someone willing to give a decent price.
Ruth: Did you have a good time at the family reunion?
This weekend our local food network and Ag Ext. offered farm tours on a variety of farms in our county for a few hours each day. Yesterday dh and went to 4 farms. One was a lavender farm (that's the picture). Another was a small angora rabbit and angora goat farm. The owners make fiber and yarn from the fur. I thought that was unique bc another farm I chose NOT to go to raises rabbits for consumption. Couldn't handle seeing those precious rabbits. Then we went to 2 beef cattle farms: Angus beef and Wagyu beef.
Today dd and I visited 2 farms. One was a flower farm (so pretty!) and another did a little of everything. They even process chickens right there in the backyard under a tree. Luckily there wasn't a demonstration.
Walked this evening. 91 degrees with a real feel of 95. Dew point of 70. I was safe and didn't push it.

Yes, we had a nice time at the reunion. Visited a lot, played some games, and ate way too much! We went through pouring rain coming & going. I was glad DH was driving. Today is the first day that I turned my air conditioner on this summer. (You can be jealous of me now & I will be jealous of you when it's 30 below here in the winter). I walked for awhile. I SHOULD be doing some cleaning & sorting, but don't have the enthusiasm for it. I, too, have lots of 'treasures' that nobody else will want. Boo Hoo!
Cute hat, Wonderland!

Our blueberries are starting to ripen so picked for 30 minutes today.
Too hot to walk.

Nice long walk at 7:30 this morning before it got too hot - I think it was already 70F - now at 10:30 it's 87F. Pulled a few weeds in the front yard, but had to stop as the sun was beating down on me. Will finish early tomorrow morning before walking.
Yesterday we got to 98F and it's expected to get that hot today again. Believe it or not, 98F was not a record.
Yesterday I tidied up my closet shelf - have lots of hats to give away - many were from my chemo days and others were from my late girlfriend who passed away in 1993 - I kept them in case she had granddaughters but she has 2 grandsons. I wanted to give them to American Cancer Society or other cancer organization, but I couldn't find anyone who takes hats, so I will donate them to where I donate clothing, furniture and housewares. Also got rid of multiple RFTC pink t-shirts and other t-shirts as I have several new ones from all different places. I don't wear t-shirts much so how many can a gal have! My two favorite are one my DD#2 got me that says F*** Cancer and the other is a MM long sleeve t-shirt with a hummingbird on it.
Need to go see what I can do in the house besides play on the computer or color. I think I'll go in the crawl space and re-organize how the storage boxes are stacked. Not interested in going through other things to donate today. Will keep the momentos for a time when I want to take the time to decide, keep or keep for now or give away. Too much brain power for today.
I have everything reading for DD#1 and DG who arrive tomorrow evening.
Have a great Tuesday.

Enjoy your 'baby time', Karen…..although she's not really a baby anymore, is she?!
I went to a Step class this morning, then a hair appointment & am now watering the flowers, picking weeds etc.

Thanks Ruth. GD is 13+ months. Just over 24 hours till I get to love on them,
It hit 100F degrees in Denver today. And it didn't even break the record of 105F. The last time Denver hit 100F was August 2022.
Worked in the house again today - in the furnace room. Funny story (well not so funny) - Last week, I was positive I took fish out of the freezer for dinner. I always take it out the night before and put it in the fridge then take it out of the fridge in the morning. The next day, I couldn't find the fish anywhere. In my furnace room, I have my extra fridge, small freezer and an old, old stove that came with the house. It is not connected so I use it to put foil pans etc on it. It really needed tidying up. Low and behold, what did I find, the missing fish - it was on the stove. Thank goodness, I decided to tidy it up or who knows how long the fish would have stayed there. I took it our of the freezer Wednesday day!! The furnace room was smelling and Craig was convinced it was the big drain, but now not sure. But problem solved - fish went immediately in the trash - I couldn't even look at it. It is trash day and trash wasn't picked up yet so it didn't sit in the trash in the heat.
Didn't make it into the crawl space. If I don't get to it in the morning, it will have to wait. I also want to tidy the spare bedroom closet floor.
We are waiting till the sun starts going down to walk.
24 hours or so till my DD and GD should be at the house. I can't wait.

Lucky you found that fish before too much time passed! One time our basement freezer, which was full of fish (caught by DH) quit working, I didn't realize it had died until the most horrible smells started coming from downstairs. We had to throw out the whole freezer (it was a small one) because it was impossible to get the stench out. Horrible!

Here's the Wednesday Walking Women. (5 more came late, there is a lot of road construction in our town, and you have to zig zag around to get anywhere!).

can’t do any exercise for at least 3 weeks due to minor surgery. Oh well, who really needs a beach body as long as I heal well!

Hope you heal well & quickly, mOmmyof3!
A dog walk this morning. DH & I are taking off in awhile for an overnight get-a-way. Expect a 'hiking at a state park' picture tomorrow!

My DD#1 an GD arrived 3 hours late on Wednesday. They were due in at 6pm and got in at 9pm. They were diverted to Omaha NE. I was almsot 10:30 by the time they got to the house. GD is now 13 months and walks all over the place, can climb up the stairs from their downstairs bedroom. She is a , fun busy little girl. They are here through next Saturday night leaving early Sunday the 7th on a 7:45 flight.
Nothing special on the agenda. This afternoon GD played in the little wading pool we got her and she had fun.
Have a great week-end.

Karen: Have a fabulous visit with your precious granddaughter and dd!
Ruth: Great picture of WWW. Looks chilly. Have fun at your state park!
M0mmy: Sorry about your surgery. I hope your recuperation is uneventful and you are getting pampered.
Dh and I hosted the Red Cross Blood Drive at our church on Wednesday. The Red Cross had a goal of 19 units and we surpassed it with 22 units. That made me very happy! Plus it was the hottest day so far of the year and we were fortunate that people kept their appointments.
This morning I met a friend to walk.

Dog Walk this morning & a strength class tonight. In between I ran around buying groceries etc. for the annual 4th of July picnic in our backyard. We are under a severe thunderstorm watch right now, so I have one eye on the weather channel.

Ruth: The Park sounds so interesting. Love the wide open land. Oh no! It can't thunderstorm on your July 4th party! We are expecting hot weather but no rain.
m0mmy: Hope you are improving daily and taking it easy.
Saturday and Sunday were miserable. The dew point was in the mid 70s and humidity about the same. Yesterday dh and I went to a family gathering for my nephew's son's 3 year old birthday. It was at a park - fun to see everyone but it was so hot!
Luckily today and tomorrow the temps are down and so are the dew point and humidity. Felt refreshing. Got out this evening for my walk.
