Alexa tells me it's 95° here in the country; weather.com says it'll be 100° tomorrow. If we make it through that, temps start going down and highs will be in the 80's next week. There are also possibilities for rain Saturday, which we sorely need.
I finally got to the bottom of my problems trying to get my payment from Google; I was the one at fault, of course. This morning I had an email saying my payment should show up in the next five days; I'm pretty sure it show up on my bank account in the morning. The email told me to check my balance on Adsense, and sure enough, my balance was zero.
I read today that Pfizer may offer a third shot for those of us who already had the first two; they say it will offer another layer of protection. Cliff and I will gladly get it if they decide to offer it.
My husband has been working on a project in the shop with me in mind. What you see in this picture didn't pan out though, so he made changes. This is, I believe, the fourth carryall he's made for me for various parade tractors; it's the smallest one ever, so it was sort of tricky figuring where I'd be seated. With my help as a model, sitting on one seat and another until he figured out a solution, it's going to work just fine. He makes stuff like this out of odds and ends he has on hand in his junk piles.
In spite of the heat, Cliff has been spending several hours in the shop every day working on this project so I can ride behind him when we take the Farmall Super C to parades with our club. He will eventually paint the carryall "Farmall Red" to match the tractor, but he says he may not get that done until it's cooler. I nag him to drink water every time I'm out there checking on him.
Can you believe that the turnips I planted Sunday started germinating in less than 48 hours? And this morning, on the third day after planting, look at how determined those tiny seeds are to live! I do moisten them every day with water from the sprinkling can.
I believe that's all I have for today. Pretty random, eh?
Nevertheless, It's always good to read your blog!

DeleteI enjoy checking in on your blog too. Feels like we know one another, doesn't it?
DeleteAs hot as it has been here in the Midwest yesterday and the promise for today, I've been up before 5 and have my walk almost complete by 6. Still sweat buckets. I just couldn't imagine doing it when the sun was shining on me.
ReplyDeleteWe used to walk 3 miles together, took us 40 minutes, sometimes less. Cliff's hip isn't great and hurts him too much to walk for exercise in the pasture. I had to quit for awhile because of my knees hurting for days after a walk, but I finally learned that if I slowed down considerably and cut the biggest hill in the pasture out of the walk, I can handle it. I was thrilled to be able to get outside and walk again. We both do the recumbent bike, and read while we're at it to escape the boredom; but I'm an outside person, and feel a strong need to get outside in nature.
DeleteI don't know how far my walk is in miles because I just go up and down a bunch of paths, but I know it's far less than three miles, and takes me 45 minutes walking slowly. I'll take it.
Think we have the same forecast. These hundred days keep me inside as effectively as three feet of snow in winter does. We are also getting a good dose of smoke. The other morning it mixed with fog and I couldn't see my gate. Could really smell it. Sure be glad when that is over for everyone's sake.
ReplyDeleteI love random posts, Donna, to learn about the various happenings in your day. Try to stay cool and yes, please drink lots of water, Cliff. Of course that means lots of going potty too, if Cliff is anything like my husband. *lol* We've started our cool-down today so hopefully yours will follow quickly. It feels so much better outside. Hurray for the determination of those sweet little turnip shoots! ~Andrea xoxoxo
ReplyDelete91 here but with the heat pump, we're doing OK. It feels fine to go outside, as long as there's a cool place to come back to. :) I would happily take that 3rd Pfizer shot. Any idea when they'll be offering it?
