today was foggy this morning so you can imagine how humid it was out there. i kept having these sharp pains in my legs and was thinking it was just my lower back/nerves/etc. stuff but it was actually a biting fly. lil booger.

came in to take a break and cool off, not sure i'm up for more of that this evening so we'll see what else happens but i'm not making any promises at this point.

weeding this morning for a few hours then a break before mowing. mowing went ok. yes it was hot and humid and the grass was still a little wet so that always makes it more of a mess but it got done (after i took a cool down break for dehydration and giving my legs a rest).

cleaned up lawnmower a bit ago and am ok with today in being able to do more than previous days. not too often i can get this much time outside without complications inside.

and then i was also spending time on the phone trying to get some things done and no luck yet, but perhaps progress.

i didn't know that someone could change your street address and not even tell you... grr!!!

hopefully got the address situation resolved. county road commission never returned my calls all week so yesterday i talked to a different department in the county and he was helpful and within a few minutes said he'd work with whoever to get it changed back. we'll see how this goes...

it would be really nice to get all this weeding done today. i doubt i can but with a high of 78F in the forecast and sunny there's a good chance i can make a really good dent in this at last.

but with a high of 78F

I'm totally jealous!

I'm totally jealous!

it is a very welcome change after 92F... yesterday was high of 73F but it was too wet out to do much other than pick peas and pea pods.

more rain today, did not get outside before that arrived as we needed to do a family reunion gathering. good to see everyone.

drove home in heavy rain and i think most of it missed us here, but i'm not sure since after we got home we both zonked out for a few hour nap.

Boo on all the rain, but glad ya'll got to see family!
