The weather that is.
Summer is in full force in Searcy, AR.
I love the hot weather for the most part. However, working inside with the air conditioner all day makes for a tough adjustment when headed home. If I begin the day outside and stay out til evening, I find it much easier to tolerate. This weekend I did just that. I got up on Saturday and headed for Lowes. Picked out a few different shrubs and flowers and came home and started planting.
I am beginning to wonder if I am getting older because I found it much harder to dig the holes for some reason. lol... But I know that isn't possible. :) or is it? I refuse to admit to any such suggestion at this point. :)
I managed to get the holes dug. It took me almost all day. I waited for the sun to go down a bit before planting the new plants. I have found that if I don't plant in the heat of the day, the plants do before and usually survive. I know they look sparce and little,
but give them til next summer and they will fill the space and be beautiful. (at least that is what I am predicting). 
I truly enjoy the outdoors and wish alot of times that I had done as Kenny had wanted 15 years ago when we bought this house. 
He wanted to buy a house out in the country with some land. Well, I had grown up in the country with land and chores and animals,ect.... I wanted the suburbs and nice neighborhood, ect.... so that is what we got. (Kenny is sooo good to me). Now 15 years later, I would love to have more yard and maybe a creek and all the other things that go with the country. I guess the old saying is true " You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl" So I make my little lot of land and home as cozy as I can and I really enjoy it. 
Hot or not.
