A lazy day

I should have worked in the garden this morning.  I wanted to post some pictures here.  Instead I took the day off and visited a friend.  By the time I arrived home, it was well into the afternoon so I sat down and watched some of the Chicago White Sox game with hubby (baseball gives me a warm and cozy feeling because of fond memories of my father holding the transistor radio to his ear listening to Chicago baseball).  :)

We have once again entered the danger zone with our heat.  The large thermostat on the side of a downtown building blinked 100 degrees on my way home.  While not nearly that hot in the country, the humidity is just as high... if not more so when one lives in near a forest (one really lives in a cleared area of a forest almost anywhere in this part of the state!).

My friend, BB (aka: Busy Bee), was the person who informed me diabetics do not handle heat at all.  I was wondering why I used to be able to go through a summer hardly noticing hot days and suddenly feeling faint when the temperatures reached 90 (sometimes less).  Her husband's father and brother are both Type 1 diabetics who have challenges when they visit her family on the Gulf coast of Texas.  Sigh... live and learn.

I will make certain to pick green beans, weed, and water the garden early in the morning before the humidity gets together with the heat and decide to have a party.  Normally it is late August before I begin to long for sweater weather and stop dreading the icy grip of winter.  This year... bring it on.

I had to look at the calendar to see what day it is.  I knew my birthday was this week but I was not certain of the day.  Oh, my... it is tomorrow!  This summer has passed so quickly.  Christopher moves out in a little over a week and classes start a week later.  Tempus is definitely fugiting around this place.  ;)
