Dreaming of Fall

A little cleaning to do in the backyard...

Where there is a will, there is a way!

(the kid's makeshift teeter-toter)

I thought I'd hop on here to make you feel better if your weather is cooler, that is, and you're thinking it's warm. ;) Up here in the north woods of Minnesota it is 10 p.m. and the temperature is approximately 81 degrees...and humid. :)

Aah! Yes. The temp. is scheduled (and yes, I know you can't schedule weather. If I thought you could, would I schedule this?!) ;) to be in the 90's with plenty of that lovely stuff we call humidity for the whole entire week to come. By the end of the week we should be down to the high 80's. :)

Yes, the above segment of this post is dripping, no make that, pouring with sarcasm. I must reluctantly admit that I'm not very user friendly when it comes to the heat and humidity. ;) I know a similar forecast is echoed in the southern parts of our state. I haven't heard, however, if the same is to be seen elsewhere...

Makes me glad that we got the inside of the (new) house cleaned out last week. The basement is a mess to be reckoned with though. And there will be more on the main floor as Mark continues with the sheet rock and then on to the mudding, sanding and painting. :) (Yay! We're getting there!) The front yard is cleaned of debris too. We were planning to work on clearing the back on Saturday but it was too hot and humid. That's alright... It'll still be waiting once this humidity passes. ;)

The kids are little, to be sure, at five and three but they sure were helping to pull their weight the other day when we were cleaning up the yard. And why is it so much more fun to lift "heavy" boards than it is to clean up their toys?! ;) I suppose it's a change for them, something fun. Whichever it is, I'll take it!
