Yesterday was HOT! I heard on the news that the temps broke the record in Seattle. It was probably as hot or hotter here, which is south of Seattle by a good 70 miles or so.

We got up early (the cats never let us sleep in) and got a lot done before lunch. Let's see what I can remember.

1. We cleaned the bathroom that my husband and the cats use.

2. We gravelled in an area adjacent to the tractor parking spot (for hubby's boat)

3. I got all the laundry done.

4. I hooked up a soaker hose to wind around all my newest plantings in the deck bed.

5. I planted scarlet runner beans.

6. We (mostly) assembled a new wheelbarrow.

Not bad, I think. As the temperature rose, we were done with the big chores and could hide out in the air conditioning. We ate lunch and watched a movie.

Today, I'd really like to get the cukes and carrots planted.

And finish assembling that 'barrow, too.

And fill the fourth raised veggie bed with soil.

Oh! Updates...the sunflowers are coming up. The sluggo pellets seem to be working. The deer left my plants mostly alone last night. Oh, yeah and the wildflower strip in the front of the property is COVERED in little seedlings. Yay! Finally.
