Wordless Wednesday: Happy 1st Day of Summer...we're only six months away from Winter

We love...

...napping on the tile floor on hot summery days. It surprises us that the tile stays cool even on those unbearable days. I like to rotate between the dining room and my little cave underneath the computer desk. Sierra goes back and forth on the couch and the dining room floor. Where do you like to nap during the day?

Boy, oh boy...

...if feels like Summer is already here. Besides camping and fresh veggies and fruits from our garden, Summer is our least favorite season. It was ninety degrees today and it's going to be even hotter tomorrow. (Insert sad face).

The A/C has been on all day. The best thing for us to do is nap directly under the fan and wait for the evening. Atleast it will be a little cooler by then. (Paws crossed).

A shady nap

Hi there everyone. As you can tell Sierra and I found some nice and shady places to nap this afternoon. It was pretty hot so we just wanted to sleep all day. Every time I got up to walk around, my paw pads would get all sweaty and I wasn't even panting yet. I guess I should get used to it since summer is almost here.

It was...

...a sweltering 97 degrees today. What happened to the the Fall weather? I guess our Summer weather is finally here. Better late than never, right? Sierra and I spent most of the day napping. When Mommy got home she noticed that I was laying in the double rainbow that was hitting our tile floor. I guess the pretty rainbow makes up for the hot temps. Well...almost.

Week eighteen in the garden

Today might have been the best Sunday of the summer. The weather was not too hot, most of the yard work was finished yesterday, and Mommy and Daddy were both home all day so we had lots of together time, lots of snack time, and even more belly rub time than ever. As you can see our garden is doing very well.

The cucumber plant keeps spreading out and is now crawling across the little fence around the garden.

They sure are growing slowly.

I really love the colors of our lettuce. They might be the prettiest edible plants out there.

It looks like some little black bugs found the broccoli flowers before Daddy did.

We also harvested all of our beets and carrots yesterday so today we planted more beets, and carrots, and also some spinach.

These little pepper plants are finally starting to come back after Daddy almost killed them by not watering them enough during our last heat wave.

Our corn is starting to flower already so we will definitely be enjoying corn on the cob very soon.

Our cherry tomato trellis is starting to really fill out with little green balls.

Our oranges are almost full size so we hope they will start turning color soon.

We've been having...

...such a cool summer. But we knew it was bound to happen. The hot weather worked its way back to California. Even though were not having a heat wave like some places right now, that normal summer time feeling of being both hot and dry has finally arrived. I am even more sad that Mommy is still not feeling better yet. Her temperature peaked over 103 degrees tonight. Daddy, Sierra, and I all went for a long walk while Mommy napped. Her temperature looks to be dropping but we will be monitoring it closely all night. Please keep your paws crossed that she gets better soon and we'll be sure to visit your blogs once she gets better. We sure do miss everyone.

Thankful Thursday

Look at this grass fed beef marrow bone surrounded by tons of meat. Auntie Flo saved this for us. Sierra and I have been getting a few pieces every day. We are very thankful.

Mommy got an entire grocery bag filled with rosemary. It's from Auntie Flo and Uncle Tim's garden. Mommy says this should last a really, really long time.
It's almost fall and the weather must be confused because the temperatures feel the middle of summer. We are keeping our paws crossed for cooler temps soon!

Thankful Thursday

Summer's coming and I'm already hot! During our walk tonight I drank all the water that was in our water bottle. Mommy said that she was sweating too. So what's the solution? Well, not a solution but something to help me deal with the heat? A good brushing!

Daddy does the best job brushing me. First Daddy starts out with a comb. This gets most of my top layer.
Then he gets the Furminator to get my second layer.
I'm so thankful for the Furminator. I feel 10 lbs. lighter. Thanks, Daddy. I feel cooler already.
