WEATHER: Another day of beastly heat. Highs in low 100s
Even though the thermometer tops 100 degrees, it cools off in the 50s at night. My chore in the morning is to close everything up to preserve the night's cool air.
The homeowners are very conscientious about the environment. We compost everything. We seem to have a lot of compost due to the amount of vegetables and fruit we are cleaning and eating. George takes it to the horse manure pile and digs a hole....
Drops it in, and covers it up so animals won't get into it.
We go through several buckets a day.
We wash and dry eggshells and crumble them up. They are used to keep the snails away.
Speaking of snails, we were real slugs most of the day. It was too hot to do anything outside. Thank goodness for good books. It is supposed to be cooler tomorrow.
DINNER: Panzaella, an Italian bread salad. Consists of toasted French bread cubes, tomatoes, garlic, cucumbers, peppers and red onion. Serve with a garlic vinegarette. Tasty, cool, and pretty!
