Yippie! It has finally cooled down.

Finally! It is going to cool down. We had 100 days over 100 so far this summer. September and October have had over 100 degree days in the past so we aren't out of the woods for sure yet. But it looks like we might have some nice walking mornings coming. 

Have had a lot of things going on the past week or so, some good, some bad some just Oh My! First good is I haven't seen any sign of the little mouse in a couple of weeks. No little poops any where. But all my traps are still empty. Did he eat the bait and die? Or did he move out? Or is he just hiding somewhere waiting for me to relax then he'll show up again. Wait and see I guess. 

Had an exciting afternoon last week. Not the kind of excitement I want but...I picked up my phone from the counter ( it wasn't on and it wasn't charging) and it was so HOT I almost dropped it. Not good! So ended up making a quick trip to the phone store and getting a new phone. Wish they could just change the batteries like they used to be able to do. Got the same kind so it wasn't too hard to get it set up again. I've seen things on the news were they have started fire and or blown up. No thanks.

I finished another Halloween pillow. Not sure if I'm going to make a third - depends on if I can come up with an idea to use up more material. 

We had our 4-sided house/yard inspection a week or two ago. Turns out some of our bushes are too high.  They cannot be "Higher than the lowest part of the roof line" Okay! So will have them cut back this week as they will re-inspect on the 19th.  Notice how dark it is, we are getting all kinds of smoke from California. 

That is the sun trying to shine through the smoke. 
More going-ons here to write about but will stop for today.

So if the phone gets hot replace right away? I use mine so little that sometimes it is dead from lack of use. Really like the Halloween pillow.

Sandy - i've seen on the news where phones have started fire in purses and pants pockets.The batteries can cause problems. So when it got so hot while not in use I just didn't trust it any more. Hate to have a fire. Thank you, I have fun making the pillow covers.
