Mostly outside today

Hubby and I got up and got started on yard work today. He used the riding mower and got a lot of cutting done. Now he is off to the salvage yard, looking for parts for his little car. I did not tell you, he has this one car that was just about ready to get on the road. He headed for the mechanic's house, and the hood blew off. It ruined the supports for the hood and crashed the windshield. I told him it would be okay with me for him to go get parts. There are two Mercury Capris at this junk yard. I have a little this, and a little that to do. I am trying to make sure I take frequent breaks as it is really hot out there. All the big trash is out for Monday, so I do not have to worry about it tomorrow. I am making braces to keep my clotheslines from sagging. Using a post pounder to do it. I am going to have beautiful, well muscled arms. So I am sorry I am not here a whole lot today. I am working hard, though.

Muscles do hurt after such hard work and taking it easy is a priority in the evening.

@marlina I soaked in a cool bath with lavender and epsom salts and baking soda. I will hopefully feel good tomorrow.

I hope the car of your hubby will be fixed soon. As for he clothesline and your beautiful well muscled arms, I might do that also.

As long as you're working hard, we'll forgive you for being absent. We have intermittent internet tonight and tomorrow so I'm trying to make the most of it.

I know that is how you have to do if it is unreliable.

I have the green. It even sags after a while. My line is over 36 feet long. I would like a good support in the middle. I even have wire for a third line.

He was sick about it. I eventually came in and took a cool soak.

Ours is a little warmer than yours, but it is supposed to be. It is still awesome to watch the sky and the birds and any animals that come along.

Staying cool is pretty impossible, but I can stay busy.
