The Wizard of Oz freaked me out when I was a kid.
The witch.
She MELTED!
And screamed, “I’m meltiiing, I’m meltiiiing!”
while doing so.
Couldn’t she have melted quietly?
I mean, really.
The reason, I am melting,
is because it’s been 34 degrees here lately, with a humidex
that makes it feel like 43.
What’s that in Fahrenheit?
Like 105?
I don’t really know.
Correct me if I’m wrong.
Anyway.
It’s hot.
Today I couldn’t sit in my house, I had to keep moving, ‘cause then at least there was a bit of air flow.
I have no air conditioning.
And there is no breeze.
None what so ever.
So weird for where I live.
So, I’m outside cleaning my barn, and the sweat was just dripping off me.
I seriously had a river running between my boobs.
It was gross.
And I have been trying to weed my garden.
It’s in a very sad state.
I want to take pictures of all the little things growing, but I couldn’t post them. because of the weeds.
Why is it so bad?
’Cause I missed one week of working in it.
One week.
I went camping, and the beginning of that week I was busy with appointments and such,
and so a whole week went by without me out there.
And now I have a jungle.
Well.
It’s not as bad as I have had.
But it bugs me, ‘cause I was really doing a good job this year on my garden!
So, I went out there today to try and get some more done.
’Cause it’s driving me crazy.
I weeded two rows, and then my vision blurred, I got real dizzy and almost fell over.
And I said to my self,
”Self, I think we’re done. Time to go in.”
So I did.
But, when I got home from soccer tonight at 8:30, I went out there again.
It was cooler, only 28, and I worked until it was dark.
I actually did last night as well.
I’m becoming the “Night Gardener.”
Sounds cool.
”Just call me, the Night Gardener!”
I did get a break from the heat when I went to my Mom’s this afternoon to watch FIFA World Cup.
She has Central Air,
and it is glorious.
But, I don’t know if I’d ever get it.
When I walked into her house I wanted to cry, it was so wonderful.
I had been hot for sooo long.
But here’s the thing.
Walking OUT was torture.
And then I had to go sit on the sideline in the sun and watch the boys play soccer.
With a sleeping three-year-old in my lap.
It was a sweaty mess.
I think if I had Central Air, I would never leave my house.
Ever.
Whereas, now, it’s better outside than in.
At least there is air movement, if not a breeze.
Anyway, that’s my news from today.
Oh, and that it boggles my mind that less than a week ago,
it was so cold after supper that I could see my breath.
And I slept in a coat.
Oh Canada, how I love thee!
But make up your Stinkin’ MIND!
Okay.
Some more pictures of camping.
”The Faces I Love.”
And who belongs to them.
So, it’s not technically his face.
But this is my very favourite cousin, and his daughter.
My very favourite cousins wife.
WE LOVE YOU KATE!
(Did I echo?! Did I?!?")
My favourite sister-in-law, and my favourite brand new niece.
And Kate. WE LOVE YOU!
Brand new niece.
The witch.

Little sister, and her gorgeous son.
My dehydrated son
I made him drink water.
Like, a LOT.
The Mom.
She knew I had the camera pointed at her, so she pulled a face.
She always does.
The Dad.
He knew I was taking his picture too.
A little brother.
He’s the Dad of newest niece,
and three others.
Little Brother…
Little brother….
Little brother….
I have another brother, but he didn’t come camping.
Booooo Jay!
Little sister….
I watched this one being born.
I held her when she was three seconds old.
And in another two months she’ll be driving a car.
GAH!

GAH!
Older sister,
giving me the, “Will you lay off the camera?” look.
And for that she get’s two pictures posted.
Tired camping baby.
He’s the older brother of newest niece.
And a tired Nana!
There were many more people there, but these happened to be the ones
sitting at the campfire when I brought out my camera.
Almost through posting camping pictures, YAY!
There is still some cute ones to share though.
Off I go to sweat my bed.
Goodnight.
