The last hot day of the summer, according to predictions. We pay more attention up here since we’re more at the mercy of the weather. No electricity means no air conditioner, either. And it was a scorcher! They said after this, it’ll get gradually better and better until there’s beautiful, crispy snow again.
But on the HOTTEST last hot day, I was absolutely dying. I can almost bear 85, but about 90 deg and I start to fall apart. Melt. Swoon. Darling says “That’s because you’re a princess! Princesses are delicate!”
That’s me, a delicate princess 🙂
Yesterday I felt like the fire-worm and not very princessy. Today I was griping on messaging while sending pics of our surrounds, that it’s supposed to be 92 again today, and the plan is to “sit around and be miserable”. Then I was explaining about one of the pics “you can see our little boat in the background” and that’s when the light bulb came on over my head.
Marched out and told Darling to drop his tools, we’re not boating later when he gets a certain amount of work done, we’re boating today and he can work later when the boating’s done.
So he loaded up the boat and off we went. He met me one day when he saved me on a boat. Today he saved me on a boat again.
It was so much cooler down at the lake, and darling rowed us over into the shade of a big hill. That was just blissful, cool, quiet. Aaaahhhhh.
After he had rowed around for a while, he stopped rowing, and lay back and looked at the sky. That’s how you know you’re retired. When you’re floating around on the lake looking at the sky.
Two hours rowing and he’s not tired. I was tired after two hours sitting in a boat, and ready to go home, once the sun was setting. I was all better by then.
Pics of me. For the pics of Jeffy, go to MeWe! Oooh this is awesome. I’ve finally settled on a plan for sharing that makes me comfortable-ish, and now I can just share. So fun!
