Feeling Hot Hot Hot


I think we need to find an outdoor air conditioner to go in the kitties' igloo. It's been pretty hot and humid around lately, we essentially didn't have a spring. Over the last few weeks since it has been so steamy the cats haven't really wanted to hang out in the igloo. We put their food in there in case it rains but other than to eat they don't go in there as much as before. Yesterday Inky was keeping me company while I was staining the deck and then poor thing was panting. I didn't even know cats did that! So I have decided we need to figure out a way to make a mini-air conditioner. Like, a dehumidifier combined with a humidifier so it could suck water in and then blow it out in a cool mist. Something along those lines.

It thunderstormed today so we didn't get any staining done. Yesterday we worked on the area by the hot tub again and now thankfully we only have to do the floor over there and then we will be finished with that part! Only two million more planks to stain. Anyway, since it was raining today was more of a lots of little projects sort of day. I we sanded and repainted a door that was messed up, planted our border bushes by the hot tub, and hung up the sail clover cover above the hot tub area. So that part is starting to look really cute. Too bad the hot tub is still broken so we can't appreciate it. But it's still nice to look at from the pool. And it's nice to have another area of the backyard finished.

Now we are watching Dr. Who and enjoying chocolate chip banana bread. Basically, take any banana bread recipe and add a cup of mini-chocolate chips. It's tasty stuff.
