He is so handsome!

 Arizona is still in a heat advisory and the local electric company wants everyone to conserve by turning up the AC, not to use washers/dryers and things like pool filters until after 9pm. Mind you, the temps have been record setting and remain around 115 daily and 90 overnight. APS also is saying they may have to do rotating outages which will last around 1/2 hour and there will be no prior notice. I speak from experience when I say going without AC even a short time is difficult in these temps. When Dennis was in hospital and suppose to return home, that weekend the AC quit. The triple digits during the day and the temp in this house was around 97 at nighttime and stifling. Complaining finished. 

Murphy has a new groomer, Mary who did a perfect trim upon our specifications. Isn't he looking good! He is trimmed short and feels like velvet. I thought I would show you how Murphy "hides"... when he has something he should not have.

Look at that butt. He thinks we do not see him. Other hiding places are  under the ottoman, along side the chair in my room or under my bed which he does disappear. Once under the sofa, he really has to pull himself out...just fits. He is our delight. 

Baked a banana bread yesterday...almost gone. It is such a pleasure to have someone (The Brother Alan) who enjoys cakes and Pizzelles and scones etc. Lisa does also! 

I hope everyone is healthy and safe. I know many do not wear masks...we do. I know that many do not care about social distance...we do. We are doing our best to remain healthy. Glad you could stop by to visit. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

Hot days are here

☀It would seem the triple digits are here to stay. Heat advisories daily...Murphy ignored them yesterday. He insisted on laying out in the lanai all morning. Today he is napping by my side.  It is 106 at the moment...so indoors we will stay. Alan and Lisa are at work so it is just the two of us. Me?, I am watching a movie. Lisa took me to Safeway this morning for a few things and I could not wait to get back home and remove the mask...
I made each of us 2 masks...one of Alan's was with him at work when I took this photo. So many are not wearing them in the market.
Our tomato plants are getting ready in the Kitchen Garden....
These are on the "old" plant and there are several. Glad I did not remove it when we picked the last tomato. We bought a new one
This is the new one which is Husky cherry  and already has several bunches. Since none are ready I had to buy some today.
This pepper plant is called Candy Cane...do you see the light creamy color stripe? The peppers will be stripped and sweet. The Poblano plant does not have anything yet. I need to replace the Italian flat leaf parsley when next I can get to a nursery. Lisa is tending to the Basil plant in a pot on the shelf.
Well, I am needing a good sit down. My injection area is sore today...an ache that will not quit. Swishing and fluffing in the laundry area is finished. The galley area of the kitchen floor needs a wash, but it can wait. So nice to chat with you all. I hope you are taking care and being as careful as possible. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.
