Fruits of my labor and oh my the heat!

It is so hot outside.  It is one of those days when you don't want to wear clothes (don't worry we are clothed, but we would be much happier naked ha!)  Today's high is 94 and it is currently 90 outside and no rain in the forecast.  I think we might be relaxing indoors and going out early in the morning and late in the evening to get our outside time in.  
We have to hit the pool here soon to beat the heat or I will set up the sprinkler.
One good thing about the no rain means I don't have to mow the lawn!  We don't waste our drinking water on watering our lawn.  I do have to water the garden, but we are growing food.  Hopefully my water bill doesn't go through the roof because of the lack of rain this week.

But good news we just picked our first zucchini out of our garden!




I think we are going to cook up tonight.

Well the cucumbers were getting out of hand.  I put these cages up that I had extra.





I don't have much room to put anything else up, so this will have to do.  I think I might have a million cucumbers and zucchini by the time this is all said and done.  I think I might make pickles with the cucumbers.

Here is my little gardener, Carson.


He likes helping me out and he wants to water the garden any chance he gets.  Now if only could get him to pull up weeds I think I would have it made in the shade.

And here is my little Boo.... she likes to stay in the shade and quite frankly I don't blame her.



Other than gardening, I have been busying knitting.  I am making this cute little sweater (work in progress) called Little Coffee Bean




It is for a special little guy. I am making it size 6 months so he has something to wear this fall/winter.
The colorway is called Dandelion Sky dyed by Blue Grass Baby

Stay cool everyone!
