today was HOT

where we live in the winter months we get gale force winds pretty much daily, 30-40 mile per hour gusts on an average day from oct. till may is totally normal. however, on hot summer days, when you NEED that breeze, there is NONE to be seen. blah. so, it's hot and humid and our back yard has ZLICH for shade until the sun passes noon, then it's shaded in our backyard for the most part. the garden gets sun from sun up to about 830pm. good for the garden, bad for the mom who wants her kids to play outside :).

we got a pool, that is above ground, 8 ft by 30 in tall. perfect for the kids. it has a filter and a cover. so, the idea is you fill it up once and leave it like that all summer long. you run the filter at night, measure ph levels and chlorine levels too. we use a HUGE umbrella to cover it as much as we can, we have 3 microscopic trees near our fence that do squat for shade LOL. we were spoiled by our last two backyards, large mature trees that shaded the yards real nicely.

steve is supposed to fly tomorrow and this whole flying -without- enough- fuel thing is freaking me out/ making me mad.

gotta go to sleep!
nighty night.
