Coffee's ready! I made lots so will pour you a cup. The dogs have been fed and cuddled a bit and are now loafing on the back deck.
I just love June when I can look down on my garden from the bedroom window and see something new nearly every day. Yesterday's delight was a large white iris and today there is a gorgeous salmon-coloured oriental poppy.
In an hour or so, I'm off to pick up bread for sale at the Mill, something I always enjoy on these gorgeous mornings. Margo and her three huge dogs are always glad to see me and sometimes we even take time to sit on her big farm porch for a coffee and chat. She and Russ are very tight for cash (all farmers are!) but all three of their kids are off at university on scholarships.
Time to figure out what to wear - I'm way behind on laundry It's grinding day at the Mill so I'll have to fake a period costume somehow - a long denim skirt, white blouse and apron may have to be "it".
OK - get with it, Ruthie. Better water the flower boxes before the day gets hot as predicted.
Enjoy the weekend.


So I'll be doing a couple more days of Phase 1 just to make suer I didn't do too much damage. We are sanding the shelves and cabinets on the last wall of the library today and then we can start building the window seat. I'll be so glad when we finally finish this project. Other than that, this weekend is all about meal prep and trying to stay cool. More 100 degree days ahead. Have a good weekend everyone.
That should relieve the drought situation a bit. Several years ago, Western Canada had the same dry weather and the eastern farmers started Hay West and shipped bales of it out there. I'm sure they will do the same for us if worse comes to worst.
