Sizzling Summer Heat

 It has been hot and dry here!  Seriously triple digits several days a week for the past several weeks.  Luckily Nate has swim lessons in the mornings.  It gets us out of the house.

 But most afternoons we lounge around indoors.

I have to water most mornings and evenings to combat the intense temps.  But most of the garden is doing well.  Some things are doomed.

I've spent the past several weeks preparing for fourth grade.  I don't plan to start until the end of August, but with fostering possibly starting around the same time, I want to have things ready.

Nate has been doing great!  He has been busy playing with the neighbor girls, playing catch, riding his bike, and enjoying the summer.  I signed him up for four weeks of tennis in June and four weeks of swim in July. He passed his first session of swim lessons.  He is in the third level now, he is learning some impressive swim strokes.  We will have to see how well he does!
