MORNIN' LOVELY. I slept so well last night that it took the edge off of being sluggish in the morning. This beautiful day has started with over cast, grey skies and humidity with hopes of some rain to cool things off. I went ahead and walked out on the porch this morning in my pink housecoat to get a feel for the temperature.
Still HOT at 77 degrees with a chance of rain. It feels hotter than 77 with this humidity. Stifling. Hubby is outside mowing a different section of the yard. He said he'd have coffee with me when he comes inside to cool off. He is working hard to get the yard back to looking like somebody cares.
I think he'll continue to get up early in the mornings when the heat isn't over 80 to do yard work. The hedge of box woods we planted 3 years ago haven't done well as many of them died from winter frost so they will be pulled up and cleared out of the bed. It looks awful having so many dead, yellow box woods in with some green ones. The healthy ones will go elsewhere on our property. We don't want to buy any more of this type of boxwood as it isn't hardy enough for this part of Kansas. Last year we replaced the ones that didn't make it. This probably would be a yearly event with this particular type of plant. At $40 a pop per plant there are other things we want to do with the money.
We'll clear the plants out of the front bed a little at a time and work the soil over. Not sure yet, but we are giving it much thought what to plant back in this bed. Irises that we already own are calling our name. There have been Irises in this bed before and they did well sooooo I think we'll give it another try to beautify the yard.
It's been so hot this Summer. I use the wash machine to do laundry at a certain time of day. I was taught that electrical appliances such as a washing machine should not be used in the middle of the day. Tis best to use when there are not so many others using power. Cuts the expense of the electricity. I usually use the machine early in the morning so I need to get a load in.
Plans for the day.
Laundry.
Bills looked over.
Items taken to the storage unit.
Finish organizing the Kitchen Cabinet.
Paper work.
Shuffling boxes on the main floor.
Fixing a cool salad.
Coffee Break.
Writing Mom a letter.
Decluttering the house.
Clean the box of miniature kerosene lamps.
TV time.
Devotions.
Shaving my legs for this.
Reading.
Tis Wednesday and the trash needs placed out at the curb as the Sanitation workers come early on Thursday.
What ever else comes to mind.
I cannot get the Living room and Dining room tidied just yet as the "Attic" at the storage unit is still being arranged. My sanity is going mad amongst the messes. I'm incredibly moody. Between the heat and the messy house, I'm seeing red.
