It sure is hot here in Long Lane, low 90's (F) according to our right-now shaded thermometer. I am considering taking the plunge in the pool tomorrow. It's supposed to be just as hot at it is today. At the very least I'll put my feet in it from the ladder.
On Monday our friend and her kids came to visit. The boys immediately started the video game, the middle girl watched and then got tired of them not letting her play too. She found stuff to do though. And the littlest one (3 years old) kept us entertained by exploring everywhere she could get to in the house. *smile* They only stayed a couple of hours, but what a GREAT two hours they were! Can hardly wait to see them again!
Since putting the other carpet in the living room, it seems a little more cheerful now. Don't know if it's because of the fancy looking carpet, or that we made a "change". Anyway, I've gotten a few loads of laundry done since then (3 days = 3 loads), finished weed-eating around the pool (took 3 days), cleaned most of the bathroom floor with wipies (on-going), and got a few things ready (yesterday afternoon) to go to the swap-meet this morning. Since Rain didn't sleep very well last night, we decided after everyone was up that we would do it *next* week instead. It's just so freaking hot! If anyone from around Buffalo, Missouri has been wondering what the cost to set-up to the right of Woods parking lot on Wednesdays is... it's FREE!
Our once-broody hen hatched out 4 babies a couple of days ago. I haven't taken pictures yet. Before, we hadn't let her out of their pen and pictures taken through the mesh wire aren't very good (IMO). I did let them out this morning though, and even thought about getting a picture, but never did. Perhaps tomorrow.
Rain called the shelter where we have taken 10 cats, prior to the last couple months because we wanted to be sure homes had been found for them. Today on the phone she was told they all had been, and we're going to take 3 girls in next month. Their names are Spot, Mai-Mai, and Drigger. It's going to be hard to say good-bye to these because there all SO cute, lovable and can't be held enough. But we need to, and will. *pout* Bitter-sweet, for sure.
