Georgia in the summertime! Waking up sweaty, with hair sticking to your neck. We had a thunderstorm yesterday afternoon, which was good for the garden and cooled it off some. It is predicted to hit 99 today and 100 tomorrow.

It is my parents' 61st anniversary today and they are driving up to Ashville. I have such mixed feelings about this. I am really excited about having the house to ourselves, maybe cleaning some, playing loud music at all hours, wearing next to no clothes. But I worry about them driving and I am sure they will get worn out, touring the Biltmore and walking around Ashville, which is a small city I like a lot.

We have friends coming to dinner tomorrow and I am trying to plan a menu that requires no cooking: pasta salad with garden veggies, frozen strawberry pie, hummus... it will be too hot to work in the garden much.

Yesterday, I worked in the morning, had lunch with friends, volunteered at ALPS, went to yoga, ate dinner, watched TV and went to bed. I did not even look at my school work! I will have to catch up this weekend when it is too hot to do anything else!
