We are having a heat wave. First week of June and it's in the upper 80s to low 90s! I have to keep coming inside to the only air conditioned room to rest. I have sheets hanging in all the east and south facing windows. I have a lot I want to get done outside this weekend, but there is virtually no shade in the back yard until 6 pm.
Jax loves the sprinkler and diving for bones in the washtub I got for her. Diesel just goes around digging for cool dirt to lie down in.

The yoga retreat last weekend was really great. Interesting blend of people - small group made it more fun, I think.
I bought a groovy old couch stripped down to it's springs and wood frame that I will plant with ground cover and vines. At the antique shop they said it's from about 1880. It still has a few bits of upholstery hanging on. I'm trying to decide where in the yard to put it. I want it to be one of those things that isn't too obvious but once discovered it will amaze and please the discoverer! I'd also like to create it such that one could sit upon it if one wanted to. I wish I had a bigger yard!
