House in Progress Diary

It's too darn hot

I had to sing the song "It's Too Darn Hot" in swing choir in high school. I thought the premise was neat...it had rhythm...as much as my 15 year old brain could understand jazz rhythm.

The reality is much much more of a bummer.

So I didn't do curtains. It was too hot. We couldn't take down the blinds and do curtains because that would let the sun in. To the windows we can't open. In the house with one window A/C unit.

You're getting the picture, right?

We spent the holiday in the basement.

And therefore, I would officially like to thank my parents--ONLINE--for the getting me the best present that any house restoration-obsessed daughter (and part of a couple) could ask for upon the event of her birthday.



A SUPER COOL, HIGH POWERED WET/DRY VACUUM CLEANER

Anything that sucks up nails, plaster AND spiders is A-OK in my book.

Here are some photos to meditate on...the planters that we bought each other for our anniversary are still blooming with impatiens (click on the thumbnail photos to enlarge them):



And the day-lilies are outstanding.


If we could have world peace, things would be perfect. Peace.
