No kidding, the boy started HS today. Spent about 30 minutes with him yesterday going through the "do's and don'ts" of first year in HS.
Watered the porch pots & hanging baskets, another scorcher day...
Did the weekly shopping.
Received the OEM front wheel bushings for the garden tractor so I got them installed. After greasing everything, it's back in business.
Started the dough for my 1st attempt at making English muffins.

Mowed the grass in spurts yesterday.. partly because its HOT and partly because the right transaxle on my stupid mower keeps heating up and flaking out on me. The wife actually came out and weedeated about 3/4 of the yard.. Shocked.. Gonna take it easy this weekend and piddle around the house. Got a bunch of stuff that I've been putting off that needs to get done.
Made pizzas for dinner last night. I bought one of those pellet fed small pizza ovens and it's great! takes no time to cook a pizza. Now I'm on a mission to make a pizza dough comparable to the ones we had in Italy.. had to order 00 flour and the right yeast.. I'm almost there but not quite.

Got grapple installed and working. It's going to be a real labor saver. I got all of my destroyed well house gathered with it and hauled down to a pile. Got about 10% of my trees cut up. I am going to rent a JLG so I can get up to the stuff that is way too high to reach. Our heat and humidity have been brutal here too...../
Refilled the redbird feeders & put out new peanut blocks for them.
Watered the the porch pots & hanging baskets.
Vacuum packed the burger patties from yesterday.

Made peach jam this morning, tended my bees, then made a pile of Mayhaw jelly. Just when it was as hot as it was gonna get… I went and mowed / weedeated my mom’s yard. Sitting out on the back porch now enjoying the evening. 
Watered the the porch pots & hanging baskets. Maybe 4 more days of this heat.
Made the sourdough English muffins today. As I said previously, this is my first attempt... but they taste pretty good!!!

I have gained in my efforts to get these trees cut up. I have one more that will take the JLG to get all the tall limbs down. Heat has been brutal. Sweat gallons and try to keep it replaced. I'll be glad when I am caught up a little around here.......
Continued watering the grass at daybreak, then did the pots, hanging baskets, aparagus & trees again.
Made a pear pie for our dessert.
I didn't do much today, as it is currently 103 degrees & the heat index is 125 degrees... the barometric pressure has been falling most of the day, so hopefully it will be cooler tomorrow & we can put this year's 'hotter-that-hell week' behind us.

Finished mowing. It’s so dry, a match would burn up every thing. Neighbor to my south has been burning brush piles. One was close to our property lines. I have been watching it since he isn’t.

Only able to do some wood cutting and stacking. Home Dept JLG took a crap and the mechanic couldn't get it fixed. I got 2 days out of a week rental They don't have any more to rent right now. They did make the price right. Guess I will have to wait for my next long weekend.......
Did the weekly shopping.
Watered the porch pots & hanging baskets on the porchs.
