78F, breezy, and sunny @ 13:00, may get to a high of 80F today. Something not often seen during summer: HI 77F ... 
AC off, house opened up.
The storms developed south of here, so we didn't end up getting any rain. With the heat and lack of rain over the last few days grass has slowed way down, starting to see some brown areas.
Managed to get hopper feeder filled yesterday but found it hard to get motivated. Dunno if it was heat/humidity, the second BLT, the Mike's Hard Lemonade, or a combination of all three.
Once the front started coming through and there was a breeze and the humidity started to drop I did manage to get out there and get a few things accomplished even though it was still around 90F.
Moved the 20 Yellow Crookneck squash around back to that area along the south side of the frog pond where they'll get planted. That left 1 remaining up front. Also measured the area - it's 40' long ... which works out for a 2' spacing.
Also watered the garden plants, squash and tomatoes got good drinks but the rhubarb and new blueberry bushes really made out and got 2 gallons each. Ground drank it in almost as fast as I could pour it.
Also did a little weeding/cultivating and spread another 4 bags of mulch. Woman returned while I was doing that and put down around 4 -6 gallons of water on the largest (old) blueberry bush.
She's been out weeding this morning on the flower bed, looks to have about reached the south end. Is now asking for the fence to be taken down so we get in there to mulch it.
Also gave the squash/pumpkin plants in the wading pools a drink of a couple of gallons per pool although they didn't really look like they needed it.
Not sure what we'll get into the rest of the day, but getting those Yellow Crookneck planted is a good possibility. Several of them have started to fruit.
Maybe move more squash and pumpkins around back into the 3rd wading pool.
Hope toppop is ok and we hear from him soon. Also the others.
Have a good Thursday afternoon ...

you folks will be pleased to know I got the right galvanized steel one inch nipples from the plumbing supply store for a buck a piece.
I won't tell you what I paid for that prior tiny piece of copper, embarrassing.
And lock washers. If rain stops will put it on this afternoon. Drove in two hours of rain to and from other side of Harleysville. Waved at Popgadget going by.
Nice lunch at Souderton restaurant, place was spotless and bright, the whole area is mostly Mennonite and the care they take of their property just makes you smile.
Rip, if I saw clouds like that I'd want to run and hide.

Doctor's appointment went good...no stress test. Basically a review of all my records and prescriptions and a lecture to quit smoking.
Looks like a great day to mow...but, working until 1630 so I reckon that ain't gonna happen...
What a sweetie!!
