Heat Wave

Wow. It was hot today! I was out getting dirt for my garden around 6:30pm and it was 96 degrees! We had a fun-filled day all the same. Went to a parade this morning and, because of the heat, we all received our first sunburns of the summer. And that was with sunblock, in case any of you were inclined to think maybe it was the result of bad parenting! Let's just put that concern to rest! After being in Arizona we BELIEVE in sunscreen. Anyway, we went with friends of ours and the kids got loads of candy...and Indian headbands. Those were a big hit with Sadie and Katie Belle because then they were Pocahontas during the rest of the day. Then we went to the Farmer's Market and ended up buying a jar of homemade barbecue sauce and some mango salsa. YUM! They had live music and things to try so the kids really liked it. Next weekend I'll be going to buy plants for my garden which we also did today! I decided to put in a raised garden after the fierce battle I fought with morning glory last year. The sides are up and the dirt is in the garage so all that's left is to mix up my dirt and throw it in my garden! I AM SO EXCITED!!! I'll post pictures when it's done. Probably next weekend when my new plants will be in too!
