Today's weather forecast is 90° or hotter ....... thank God for air-conditioning. I plan on hibernating in my room today and staying cool, drinking plenty of water. I hope the high temperatures do not adversely affect the garden and flowers. Beth can water the garden tonight after work, hopefully nothing dies till then.
Speaking of the garden, I had fresh strawberries from the garden yesterday for lunch and plan on strawberries and cheese again today for lunch. The strawberries are slightly smaller this year, but are very sweet and delicious.
The sunflower seeds planted are all about 5 inches tall now, on their way to 12 feet. I never planted sunflowers before and I think they will look very nice along the walk and fence. It's hard to believe that I have tiny sweet peppers already growing. The basil plants are taking off and I will have plenty for fresh pesto. Tomato plants are popping up everywhere and I cannot wait to have fresh tomatoes again. I need to have a trellis built out of PVC pipe and string for the bean plants that are popping up. I'm very happy with how the garden is growing!
Yesterday afternoon I took my chair down the block to my dentist office for my six month cleaning. Everything worked out well with no cavities. I hate having my teeth cleaned but at least the dental assistant is nice. I have to go back next week to take x-rays, because they were too busy yesterday. My new wheelchair motors worked great and I did not get stuck on my hill or ramp which is always a bonus.
