The nicest thing about really unbearable hot weather is how much you appreciate it when it gets down to 60 degrees. We have all the windows open and even had to turn off the overhead fan last night. Humidity must be pretty low--it feels great! Of course, it was still in the 90s during the day and the garden really needs rain. I have to buy some fencing and get those strawberries planted before they die. But I know the deer will eat them down to nothing unless we have a good fencing strategy.

I worked 4 hours yesterday, then went swimming, then went to volunteer at the ALPS. Gloria had begged me to meet her, but she wasn't there. Then a housing counseling meeting, then class--tomorrow is the last one!

Ray made supper and then I spent hours watching TV, including the movie Holes, which was so fun. It reminded me of the Natalie Babbitt books.
