Up in the 30's again so I stayed inside most of the day, watching tennis on TV. It was the semi-finals from Washington. On Monday the Toronto tournament starts and I will be there most days as a volunteer. So, probably no posts until later in the week, if at all. It will be pretty uncomfortable there if the heat continues. I will pray for cooler air but no rain!
I did go for a swim at one point today (just too hot even with the AC) and picked a bucket of weeds in a shady spot while I was cool from my swim. But, other than that, a thoroughly lazy day!

A Major Booboo
Very embarrassed! I forgot to show up at Anne's for lunch this afternoon. I was an hour late and had already eaten some lunch but I managed to nibble a few sandwiches, a cup of tea, and a slice of lemon cheesecake (which was delicious).
Anne had invited four other friends which made it doubly embarrassing as they all got there on time. However, we chatted for the next couple of hours so I didn't miss out on too much of the gossip. This is an annual event and she had arranged it some time ago (that's my excuse for forgetting), and it's tricky to find a day and time that suits everyone. Maybe I won't be invited next year!

Garden Bounty
Tomatoes doing well this year. I have been getting lots of the cherry variety for a couple of weeks now, and picked the first of the beefsteak variety today.

| This was today's haul. Isn't that a beauty! |
 |
| Kale also doing well. I put a couple of leaves in yesterday's soup. |
 |
| Lots more to come - and that's just one plant! |

Easy Summer Living.
Humongous downpour this afternoon but we had already enjoyed the day - tennis first thing then swimming with the grandkids until noon. They brought balloons and had great fun filling them with water then exploding them. They were back in the pool after lunch so it was well used today. Camera battery needs recharging so no photos again.
Everything is now well watered and I may have to step up the grass cutting. It's been an easy summer so far.
