Hot! Damn Hot! African hot! It wasn't this hot yesterday......

So the weather once again is reeking havoc with Utah. We went from freaking freezing to freaking sweating overnight. Literally.
Dan and I have been discussing what to do. When I get home from work, and walk in the house, I walk right back out. It's cooler outside than in.  Cats are sprawled everywhere. Laid out from the heat. They don't even have the energy to meow at me. 
We have windows open and such, but the swamp cooler is still covered from the winter. I think tonight Dan will brave the roof and uncover it. Then he and I will unpack it and turn it on. Last year at the end of the season it was leaking a bit into the hall. I don't know why, but it's got me worried. So we will just run the fan for now. We are hoping to get Central Air installed soon. This will take my mind off drowning our roof, and with the new windows should keep us nice and cool.

We've been working on our garden. It's not much, but it's going pretty good so far.  We got our one surviving raspberry plant in, and the two strawberry plants, and I even planted my lily plant. I broke down yesterday and stopped at Lowe's to see if they had any raspberry plants left. I am banning myself from the garden center there. Almost $90 dollars later......  I walked out with an additional tomato plant, 8 corn plants, two cucumber plants, and a watermelon.  This also includes my potting soil, and the two additional house plants I bought.

Plus I got a soaker hose for the garden and a BBQ propane tank gauge plus scrubbing brush for Dan's grill.

I was really surprised that my photo wasn't on the wall stating not to sell this woman any plants. I have been a plant killer in the past. It's my fault the raspberry bushes died. And the 2 watermelon plants, and the tomato plant, and my lilacs aren't doing so well.  I'm kinda lazy..... and since I refuse to make Dan do anything I'm not really willing to do, no I can't just get him to do it.

Dan said that he will help me plant the new stuff tonight. This will be the end of my buying spree. Although.... they are having a sale on Peach Trees.........
