Dog Days of Summer

I just wanted to post a note in case anyone follows this blog (photos to follow). It's gotten hot!!! OMG! It was 102 in the shade yesterday, with a high of 105 predicted for today. I'm hot & the dogs are hot. Their 1 bright side of the day is that I've learned to make frozen yogurt for them. We used to get already made Frosty Paws from the grocery store. But, these frozen treats are so much easier to make. We take yogurt, banana, a dolip of honey & peanut butter....blend these all together & voila! Frozen, they make a frosty treat for the pups! And it isn't as much mess on the carpet as frozen peanut butter bones. Maybe I should try a blueberry flavor one for Trix? The mess factor goes up....but she is still stealing blueberries from the bushes.

We are getting ready for the installation of a vent window in our office over the garage. There is no cross ventilation (on those good days when we can open the windows). The installers have to take 3 pieces of vinyl siding off the house. This will make me nervous until it gets put back on. I am hoping not to have to replace the entire face of the garage with siding!

The other project is getting the carpets cleaned through out the house. Seems minor to some folks, but I pull everything out of all the rooms effected. Then neaten & toss out stuff as it goes back into the rooms. I need to paint one of the upstairs bedrooms & turn it into a 2nd guest room. I'll like it much better that way. I'll have to turn Newman's room more into a storage room, and hang the flyball ribbons in there.

Whew! I'm hot thinking of it.....gotta cool off!
