I think it's cause I've just lost any patience I had for it. And I get jealous of those who live in milder climates. But we deal with what we have, don't we? Thing are looking good there.

And such a lovely fellow visiting your water tank. Thanks for stopping by today Linda!

Too darn hot.<br />The 'cold front' did cool things down a bit. 96 is better than 107. Headed in the right direction, I hope.<br /><br />Yes...velvet antlers will be a problem. But, I have learned that some things will have to live in cages for the fall. Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks...lol<br /><br />All of you stay cool. Fall is coming soon.Linda/patchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639872362919575736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324576038877179022.post-90022082889556781362013-08-15T12:49:13.511-05:002013-08-15T12:49:13.511-05:00I bet with the humidity it feels like 110!

I find I'm coming up with plenty of ideas to deal with the restrictions of gardening in our area but experiencing fewer and fewer temperature friendly days to use for implementation! Hurry up, cooler weather!<br /><br />PS - love the mower. Ours is similar but has a cord as we too only have a teeny patch of lawn left. I wish my Hub could get over the idea it should remain deeply green in August though. He frets more about that small patch of lawn than I do over the rest of our landscaped areas combined! Is that a Texas-guy thing do you think?TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324576038877179022.post-87444091074203440302013-08-13T11:43:41.418-05:002013-08-13T11:43:41.418-05:00Ha!

The lawnmower is cute. <br /><br />At least this week is a tiny bit cooler than last and we're headed in the right direction--fall! <br />Shirley Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734806779997587008noreply@blogger.com
