We were up and out the door this morning by 8:30am. It was going to be another hot and sunny day and we had lots of things to get done. I started trimming the stuff in the back yard and Beth did the weed whacking out front. After I was done, I scooped the poop, but I missed a few according to Beth. But how could you see them, the grass was 6 inches tall. Beth began cutting the back yard and I worked on planting the flowers up by the mailbox. I still have space for about 5 more, so it off shopping tomorrow. It is also the start of the daily watering of plants. Yea me. After I finished the bed by the mailbox I moved to the bed by the flagpole. We had about 10 annuals for that bed, but could use a few more. Beth had finished the back yard so I used the blower to clean the grass and whirl birds off the side walk. I planted the cigar plants in the head planters and finished off by planting a couple of plants in the 2 tier planter. It still needs 2 baskets of plants. It was about lunch time, so I heated up some left over pizza and we ate in the garage. It was cooler than the house and we were both dirty. After lunch, Beth made a couple of passes in the front and I used to blower to clean off the sidewalk and driveway. I picked up the remaining stuff in the driveway and I was done for the day. I came in to a cold shower and boy did it feel good. The pool would have felt really good today, so it is not even close to be ready. The pool fairies come Thursday and open and then it has to heat up and not be slime green before we even think of getting in. I had to wrap Payton's presents as we were going over for dinner and cake. Beth finished cutting and hopped in the shower. We headed over to DJ and Maggie's house. they had their air on and it felt good. We had dinner and Payton opened his presents. We came home around 7pm and headed downstairs where it is about 15 degrees cooler. Beth is watching the Phillies game and hoping for a series win against the Mets. We are ahead, but things can change at any minute. We are hoping for rain tonight and the cooler weather it will bring. Being hotter here than in Phoenix is so very wrong. I some how managed to get bit by something again. I have 3 quarter size welts around both elbows and a welt the size of a baseball on the back of my arm and boy do they itch. Nothing really seems to take the itch away and scratching only makes then bigger. If I only knew what is was that caused it, I would surely stay away from it. Today's picture is of Payton and the motorcycle he got for his birthday. Happy 3rd Birthday Payton.
