First glimps of my garden and I pet my rabbit...

I woke up this morning around 9 am. I don't know about that time change thing but several of us went to bed around 2am! Anyway, I woke up and wandered downstairs happy to be home.

I'm happy to see the house is now down to 72 degrees F instead of the 85 degrees we came home to. I fiddled with a couple of air vents and used an industrial size fan to blow the cool air from downstairs to the upstairs. I wrapped some of the attic vents so as to shut them off and force the air into the 2nd floor - boy do you have to love these old houses! I couldn't help but chuckle as my kids were trying to play in their rooms with sweat trickling down their faces. Sorry to say but that is a first time experience for us this summer.

We counted up all the hot days we had during our 10 weeks and came up with 1 in California, 3 in Oregon and 1 in England. Other than that is was sweat shirts and fleeces or coats the whole time.

I was so happy to get a first glimpse of "my" garden this morning and can't wait to pick some fresh veggies! I want to say that it looks like a wild jungle but that doesn't quite catch the orderly rows I see. I think the wildness would describe how large and lush everything looks! (A special thanks to all of you who have been gardening) : )

And so, that's when Judah's rabbit, Oreo, got my attention. He was definitely demanding that I pet him. He likes to have the place between his eye's scratched. He's a funny rabbit and must be part cat and dog as well. For now, he sure fills part of the place Zoe has left.
