Another day in Paradise

The days started getting hot again this week. The temperatures hover around 100 degrees during the day and doesn't cool off until the middle of the night at around 76 degrees. We will probably have another week of this weather and then, it should go down to the upper 80's.

The house is coming along great. The framers should complete the roof today. It has been a tough one, much more work than originally thought. But of course, when we picked out the house plan we were looking at the floor plan only, not the roof or framing plans. Oh Well! But the framers are doing a fantastic job. Rich and I will meet with the plumber tomorrow to finalize placement of pipes, etc.

Since it is going to be so hot today, I'll plan to park myself on an air mattress and float around the pool while reading. My sister, Kathryn, will come up and do the same thing. That is how we catch up on stuff and get our laughs in. Or we just silently read.

Last night, the sky was so beautiful. I sat on the patio and watched it get dark. The sky goes through so many colors of blues and the stars were so bright. New moon last night, so it was dark.

The dog loves it here and the cats are finally starting to come around. They spend a little more time outside than they used to. This is quite odd, since in Virginia they spent most of their time outside. We think it is because we don't have a "kitty door" here and they can't come and go as they please.

More later and maybe more pics.
