spent time in the garden fairly early as the temperature was going to 37°C before adding in the humidex…

only put out the cushion I was sitting on, lol… with the huge humidity yesterday, stepping into the garden fairly early, even in the evening, was like hitting a wall…

made sure to water all the plants, and if it doesn’t rain today, I will also water the new grass tomorrow…

sat out on the back deck until close to noon and then moved into the house…

had a monarch visit for a while, just before I went in, but still have no eggs or caterpillars;-(…

came back out just after supper for a short while…

still crazy hot 🥵…

it was hot and humid out there today…

I didn’t spend much time in the garden, although when I first got up and ran the irrigation system, I did put out the cushions, but didn’t sit out for too long…

even at 7 when it is usually quite pleasant, with the humidity, it felt like 42°C, sigh…

may have to leave the air conditioner on all night…

after my shift at The Leaf on Friday, I headed over to the zoo to go to the Volunteer Centre…

it was very hot out and it had been hot in The Leaf as well… the car was boiling, lol…

I was excited to get my one year as a volunteer pin;-)…

I now have four pins, one for working at The Leaf, one for being a volunteer, and one to let visitors know that I’m trained to assist those with Hidden Disabilities… that last one is a bright yellow sunflower…

and now the one year as a volunteer pin;-)…

it was a hot one yesterday… spent most of it in the garden…

started out with breakfast and a book while it was still cool…

then I took a break and trimmed virginia creeper which had gone crazy with the rain we’ve had recently…

after half an hour I’d filled my bucket between the garage door, entry pergola, and hose area…

back to relaxing;-)… after lunch and a rest in the lounge chair, the time came to move into the house to cool off for a while…

brought in all the cushions as there was a threat of a thunderstorm…

I watched an F1 qualifying session and headed back outside, where there had not been a storm or any rain, lol… had a wander around the vegetable garden and spotted the first pea-pod…

more reading on the deck, followed by a lovely steak for dinner…

finished my book and watched a bit of tv before bed;-)…

it has been very hot here for the last few days, with no rain, woohoo…

last night’s supper was pork tenderloin with potatoes, onions, and mushrooms and asparagus…

all cooked on Barbie the Barbecue…

nice to have an option for preparing supper in this heat…

sadly, it appears that the air conditioner has shared its last cooling;-(…

on Sunday we went for a walk around Assiniboine Park to catch Pokémon… apparently it was a special event around the world… it was hot and sunny…

there were people everywhere… many of them with their heads down, focussed on their phones, with cords connecting to power packs in their pockets, lol…

we walked around the allée that circles the Diversity Gardens… it was fully shaded and there were many people along the way…

from there we walked across the Park to the English and Leo Mol Gardens… it was a long way, lol… we stopped now and then for a rest and sip of our water, and got to walk down one of my favourite paths…

it has been months since I’ve been to the Gardens, so it was a treat… besides all the people, there were lots of flowers in bloom with beautiful water lilies, and frogs, in the English Garden…

the cricket fields had some good items as we headed back to the car…

nice to enjoy a walk, although my feet were a little tired;-)…

grilling…

it was a hot one on Sunday…

I spent a good part of the day in the garden… the sun was blazing…

went around and watered all of the planters and then turned on the irrigation system… it worked fairly well and I am excited to get the rest of it connected…

had a nap in the house over the hottest part of the day and then sat on the upper deck in the shade and read…

dug out the grill and barbecued a steak which I enjoyed with some homemade potato salad and asparagus…

nice to do some grilling… my beloved would have cooked the steak better, but as time goes on, I am learning;-)…
