The Outside World


The Long Hot Summer of 2011

Gee, it's been a hot summer so far! 

Keeping cool in the pool.



According to the 'law's" of aerodynamics,
that bumble bee can't fly. ;-)

I've been able to put more color in the garden this year.
My gardening activities - watering, weeding, planting, etc. - take place before 10AM.

I work on my inside projects - cleaning, baking, cooking, sewing, painting, retouching, reading, etc. - until the outside temp drops to a 'cool' 90 degrees. ;-)
