Taking A Break From Outside

I have been in and out today as I am working at cutting down some overgrown bushes. Not an easy task but I love doing this sort of things. It makes me feel so good to be outside. But the weather is pretty hot so I have to come in to cool off every so often, I just had an ice cream bar and will go back out again in a few more minutes. See you later

If you get tired of playing in your yard, you could come here and play in mine.

If I were younger I might have enough energy to take care of 2 yards, but sorry, those days are gone

@marlina The yard at this house is easily twice the size of the yard at the old house. I'm not always sure I have the energy to take care of this one properly.

@DaddyEvil For me, it is the other way around, this lot is a lot smaller than the huge one we had before,

I did some yard work early this morning and a little while ago I hung out the kitchen towels to dry, it's too hot to be outside for long right now so I'm waiting for sundown. It's 10 after 4pm and 102f here, it should go down to about 95f at sundown.

I don't mind, I'm used to the heat of spring, it'll cool down some after June 30.

We know a lady who does this for her mother. There's so much overgrowth, it intertwines and creates a wall, almost like the jungle!

@kobesbuddy , I am usually taking better care of the bushes, but since I can't do as much as I used to, it takes me forever,

@marlina Each spring they deal with her mother's yard, it's like a wall of solid brier bushes!

It all depends of the heat, the hotter it is, the more breaks I take inside,

It's nice to be outside, but it's hard to do physical work when it's too hot.

@marlina And it’s important to drink plenty of water in these situations so it doesn’t dehydrate.

That is one thing I am glad for since I moved--no yardwork. I do go outside a lot, though--running errands, walking the dog, going to the mail box (which is much farther away than it was at my house). At least I get a lot of walking in, though ! It wasn't too hot here today.

Nothing like a nice ice cream bar on a hot day! Good to know you enjoyed your time outside

@marlina After hard work and being hot I can imagine how you would want t come inside and cool off. Sounds like the ice cream bar helped cool you off so you could go out again.

Yes, the A/C and the ice cream did the trick.

I know what you mean! I planted a ton of nasturium seeds and it looks like the rain will take care of the watering that they need to get established. Here's hoping for some hot days for us too!!

Our weather is fairly chilly this week. I still need and want to work in my flower beds and one in making still but when I get back from even small jobs I don't look forward to all the wedding that's necessary.
