Perspiration is running off me like water runs off in the shower!! No lie, I am wringing wet with sweat!! I spent the morning on outdoor projects. It’s “break time.” ~~ “Stanley” helped me vacuum the KIA. I scrubbed those orange containers before returning them to their storage and travel location. I scrubbed the fountain/bird bath because it was full of debris and slow running. The bird feeders were caked with wet feed stuck to the bottom(s) like cement. Cleaned… and filled. See how high the weeds are?? Very soon, I have to get out the “weed whacker.”

Late afternoon, I needed to make an unexpected quick trip to Walmart in Livingston. When I drove past the Bank the temperature registered 93 degrees. Less than an hour later, en route home, I ran into a torrential thunder-storm. I got soaking wet running from the car to the trailer. My thermometer said 71 degrees outside and 80 degrees inside!! Over twenty degree drop in less than one hour!! One and one-fifth inches of rain in my gauge; the yard looks like a lake?! ~~ This morning I took the tarp covering the mattress off so it could dry from previous rain storms. Even when it was dry, I could not lift the mattress (very heavy-duty foam). I hope to eventually find some strong considerate man to load the mattress in his truck and haul it to the dump. There was a time when that mattress would provide comfort for another person, another family. Our weather, this last month, has ruined the mattress.
