Heat Relief

Some relief arrived here finally, if not momentarily.... Anyway the last week we have managed to complete the the final stages of irrigation and the newly planted plants ( If November is even close) The plants that did live are now thriving .....In our defense some plants lost there battle to slugs, hubbies arch enemy....

Now about this morning adventure....It started as usual nothing too get up about, breakfast, pack lunch, find socks among other things that hubby miss places.....I went down to the canning kitchen for drinks to put in honeys lunch box and was greeted by the flying bat #2 Now I am not one of those girls that squeal or react like Mrs.Cleaver.....I simply decided to go about my chore and returned to inform hubby that another bat had found relief from the heat in one of the 4 fireplace flues we have in our old farm house....2 are from the old wood cook stoves and are now sheetrocked over...The remaining two ( one up and one down) are in use...The upstairs fireplace is enclosed but the down stairs has an open flue making it a wonderful cool place for our flying friends....I asked hubby could we keep this one and without looking up he said yes........Well now he goes down stairs opens the only opening down there other than the flue. I am hoping that I do not have to play the fish net chase game with him ( too much stress for the little guy) Hubby asked me to get him upstairs so he would eat the flies and mosquitoes..........I could only hope....He is down there still as I can hear him.....A thought crossed my mind that I could look up bat removal on the internet if I had to....Which frankly I would just not do....

Too Hot

Well you would think that since we lived in Wenatchee that we would be use to the heat...But really it is hotter here at 90 then it is there at a 104!!!!! Here the wet air is sufficating and reminds me of the South.....We are both complaining and miserable. Hubby has come home each day and worked on the irrigation, we are now working on roll # 3 , each roll has 500 feet of 1/2 inch tubing, I have given up trying to figure out how many drippers we are up too. Now you would think that after 3 cold showers to keep the body heat down a little it would not be so bad......it is....I cooked the bacon on the bbq last night as I could not bare the thought of turning on yet more heat. We have the upper pasture done and the all the shrubs that follow the fence line andwill be doing the gardens surrounding the house..
In the mean time my folks are getting ready to leave for Canada for my mums family reunion they will be gone a month...( if mum can tear herself away from Sam and Buster) My folks took two of the kittens we had last summer and now the world revolves around them.....

The Blog and web site that Ang is working on should be up and going in the next few weeks and some of my art will be going to Hawaii in the next week. So you can see why in the world the blog has had so little attention. I'm hoping things will calm down but at this point I do not see how....
