Sorry, again, my faithful devotees about the lack of posting. I am still recovering from an awesome weekend. The awesome part started just after my Friday night soccer game in which my team had our asses handed to us by what appeared to be the Cameroon national squad. It wasn't pretty.
Saturday I spent cleaning and getting ready for my friends to arrive. We try to organize a Girls Night Out at least every other month. But when the Night Out is held at The Outpost, it's assumed everyone stays overnight. Too far to drive for a mere evening. I'd like to publish a transcript of some of the conversations that were held Saturday evening, but as the saying goes, "What happens at The Outpost, stays at The Outpost." If any of the husbands are reading this...the answer is yes, we did talk about you! Ha ha ha ha ha! Now you'll wonder all day, won't you? Was it locker room talk or did we merely rant about how you won't pick up your dirty socks or put your dinner plate in the dishwasher?
Actually, we didn't talk about you. Except Joe. He offered to be our bartender for the evening. I guess the dress code changed his mind. I told him he had to wear something from the Garden of Eden Line - What the Well-Dressed Sinner is wearing.
Sunday was a slow recovery and then soccer in the blistering sun, sweating Bacardi out of all pores.
Today has been another hot one; 94 degrees. I'm a little hesitant to declare summer quite yet. I never rule out a garden-killing frost until July.
Posted by Cathy at June 7, 2004 05:18 PMWe may not have had a frost to kill the plants, but we've had everything else. My poor, poor sunflower seedlings were whisked off to Kansas by the wind today and by the storm of Saturday.
Posted by: Andy at June 7, 2004 05:47 PMIf I could figure out how, I'd send you some of the rain we've been getting the past two weeks. For a 'semi-arid' region, we're pretty waterlogged at the moment.
Thanks but no thanks on the rain, Aelfheld! I appreciate the thought; but we've just gotten through weeks of non-stop rain. I think it was the 5th wettest May on record for MN. However, if you have any milder temperatures...say in the low 80's...now that I'd love!
Andy - sorry to hear about your sunflowers. Do you harvest the seeds or do you let the birds do that? My garden looks so pathetic. First too much rain, now too much heat. Everything looks yellow and wilted. Bleh.
Posted by: Cathy at June 7, 2004 08:33 PMCan't help you on the temps - we've been around 90° for the past 3 = 4 weeks and it's only going to go up.
