A Sweltering Saturday

Weekends are up for grabs.  So often we get so caught up in activities that we don't get anything done.  Saturday was in the high 80's with humidity in the 70's.  That means just standing outside makes you sweat.  The small blessing was the high wind.

I can actually show you how windy it was because a windmill at one of the businesses in town caught the wind in a bad way.  For several hours today, we heard the wind loud and clear.  If you watch the head closely, you can see the antennas wiggling in the wind.  Sorry, I had a tough time holding the camera still and zooming in at the same time.  Especially with the wind blowing as heavy as it was blowing.

I am off on a tangent again.  For safety sake, the girls stayed with Dale today in the air conditioned house.  I did some gardening before 9:00 AM.  Then I took off for errands and shopping.  Once the errands were done, I did my kind of shopping.  I stopped by a few stores and looked at plants for the gardens. 

I know that I should have been back home weeding the gardens but I guess I will need to finish that up later.  I found some healthy looking "autumn sedum" it was just so peaceful walking through the garden departments alone.  I spent less than $50.00 but at the same time I enjoyed my day.
