Whew...yes indeed. The temps they are rising, again. I think it will now remain in the triple digits for the rest of the monsoon season. It was 109 yesterday and today they predict 110. This past week I have noticed that the base of the fountain... in the Pond Garden has been wet. Initially I thought it was from when the Doves and Grackle take a bath and splashed out the water. But no... not that easy. Last Tuesday there were puddles. First I thought a broken irrigation line.... I placed a call to have it checked. Yesterday Robert arrived and after initial check of all of the bubbler risers, they are working properly and no apparent leaks from the line. Over the next few days... before Tuesday when he returns, I need to remove the rocks covering the area. If not if he has to dig it up they will become buried... not wanting that to happen. We are thinking there may be a possibility for this be waiting is the only option at this time. I have already pulled the irrigation lines. The curse of the pond!
It is not easy to see, but the top edge and corner chili peppers are all beaded. The sides are almost finished and the hat is complete.
When I bought this a few yeas ago, I knew it was with beads but the included project picture does not show just how much is beaded! Lot of them are petite and they are very small. The sky and house area are next today. The horse is looking better but still needs beads. I will do close-ups when I finish.
Just call me the Fix-it Gal.....
The other night as I lay sleeping...isn't that from a song?... anyway, I felt quite warm. I was just was too lazy to get up and turn up the AC. In the morning after awake for a shot time I noticed that it was not coming on. So...…finally took a look. It was off! Now I never touch it so what happened??? The mind thought it can not be that after 2 years this new thing is broken! Obviously because I never look at it, it must have blinked a few days warning the batteries were dead. Having only changed them once, it took a few minutes to remember how to remove the battery case. I was not going to call the gal at the AC place again. As soon as they were in on it came and coolness returned. At the moment, towels are swishing in the laundry area, and I need a cup of coffee and some toast. I enjoyed having you stop by. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.
An Eva P update: mother fell again.... fracturing her shoulder and due to age (92) surgery is not an option. She will have a brace in place for the next 4-6 weeks to allow it to heal.

Sorry to heard that Eva P has fallen again. Can you email me her address so I can send a get well card to her. You stay in the shade if it's going to be that hot out. Love your stitching and beading. big hugs
So sorry to hear your mother has fallen again. Hopefully she is feeling somewhat comfortable. Summer has arrived, hasn't it? I rushed around this morning getting things done before it got warm. I really like your western scene and it's going to look wonderful when it's done. Stay cool Gracie!
Oh I do hope your Mom heals well Gracie. God bless her.
The weather has been very hot here too and I know how you feel.
Your needlework is gorgeous. I can imagine all the work involved with all that beading. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
Oh Gracie, your poor mom, that must be very painful. Hoping for a swift and complete recovery.
Just so you know, if the power ever goes out during this monsoon, you're welcome to come stay with us. It might not be very restful (grandkids and dogs) but it will definitely be cool! Unless our power is out too, then I guess we'll have to find a motel... I don't even want to think about it! haha
Oh my goodness! I know your dear mother must be suffering in pain. I am so sorry. I will send a card to her. I love the way the western piece is looking Gracie.
These Mill Hill kits do have a lot od beads - awesome progress! I hope the mother will recover quickly.
