It was a hot one yesterday. I trimmed the hedge early and sweat was dripping down my face. I only did a touch up job on the sprigs that stuck up. There was not much growth in this heat and lack of rain. The grass did not grow at all but I do have weeds growing along the curb out front. All of my round-up stuff is in MD. It will be too hot today to do anything but stay cooped up in an air-conditioned room. I am spoiled by my central air in the mobile home.
There is an excessive heat warning out today from noon until Monday evening. I guess I will work in the basement, as it is cooler down there. I took my dehumidifier down the cellar yesterday and started it up. I was hoping my house would be sold and I would take the dehumidifier to MD. I want to put it in my shed; it smells musty. I didn’t hook up the hose to the sump-pump because the brand new one I had last year leaked all over the basement. It was defective. The company sent me this new one and I just now tried it out. I can’t leave it running when I’m not here because if this one malfunctions, it could leak all over the floor. I don’t have to carry the bucket up and down the steps as I can dump the water in the container that houses the sump pump and when it is full, the pump will activate and pump the water outside.
I took Danny on his long walk this morning. I hope he doesn’t want to go far on his second walk. I will take him out before going to church and then after I return.
I had lunch with Pastor Joan, and Edna our church organist. We went to the Longhorn. I got the salmon salad. It was a nice piece of grilled salmon on a bed of leaf lettuce, with chopped tomatoes and cucumbers. After we ate, I went into the Acme nearby and got a lemon and a lime. I forgot them when I went the other day. From there, I went to the Home Depot to get the Almond Spray paint for my shelves. I made one more stop at BJ’s gas station where the gas was $2.439. Friday, the cheapest I saw was $2.519. It was terribly hot today and is now 92 degrees. Tomorrow is supposed to be another hot day.
