Put her wet towel in the freezer and put it on when she could. It was an outside bar and it was very hot out. They had water misters, but boy it was hot.Pioneer Woman at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533698959389851926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-41496346666181370852018-07-01T17:17:09.726-05:002018-07-01T17:17:09.726-05:00It's variety, now quantity per se.

I didn't need to use the frozen towel this time.<br /><br />Wow! Your garden is going gangbusters, isn't it! My garden envy this time is centered on your beets. I like beets, but I like the beet tops even better when cooked like spinach and drizzled with butter. (Drooling, here.) Well, the strawberries are making me hungry as well. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-77602990013253684162018-07-01T16:39:55.382-05:002018-07-01T16:39:55.382-05:00Good idea, Gorges.

Both boys are glad they don't do that kind of work any more.

The weather is more typical of our June weather then July. I'll take the change though.<br />Harvested strawberries, snow peas, beets, turnips and both yellow squash and zucchini the last two days.<br />Cheers, SJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-64228202270333314342018-06-30T11:34:02.747-05:002018-06-30T11:34:02.747-05:00Having a couple battery-powered fans can help if t...Having a couple battery-powered fans can help if the juice goes off, too.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-85821559510120623562018-06-30T11:21:40.947-05:002018-06-30T11:21:40.947-05:00You would not be surprised at how many pitchers of...You would not be surprised at how many pitchers of cold water I saw the cooks at Disney down a shift. Seems like everyone had one or large glass near by. The heat was one reason all deliveries are made well before 9 am. I started work at 3 am. we finished by 11am most days.<br />Our 4 window units are running. The LR was at 61 yesterday, but its at 70 right now. I went outside today and its still a little sticky.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800149852939042454noreply@blogger.com
