A DIP AND A DIG IN THE BACKYARD : #HOTSUMMER CHALLENGE #SHADOWHUNTERS

A DIP

It certainly has been a hot summer here in Texas. With temperatures reaching over 90 degrees. The Gulf Coast of Texas is especially hot and humid. You can sweat profusely just going outside for only 15 minutes.

The only activity that cools you down is a trip to the beach or any nearby pool where you can just jump in and cool off. Always careful though is your use of appropriate PH level sunscreen.

Since we've been prohibited from gathering in large crowds, trips to our nearly beaches are off limits. The community pools are also closed until further notice.

My granddaughter loves to swim. Two months ago, she asked for a pool of her own to be kept at our home. So we set out to find one. To our surprise, all local stores were out of stock. Also, our search online produced the same results for the size above ground pool we were looking for.

We finally located one. Four weeks later, it arrived. We started the process of assembly. Didn't realize the pool cover produced a nice shadow for our Shadow Hunter's Community.

During that time, we discovered my daughter was exposed to the virus by a co-worker. This week, they were finally able to come and enjoy their pool.

It was the best decision we made. She's thoroughly happy and promises to come every weekend until Fall.

A DIG

This past month I purchased some sweet potatoes to make a pie. I saved one of them so that it could grow stem. I wanted to plant it in the backyard to start a small garden.

I have a flower pot. I plan to cut off eyes with the growth and plant them separately in soil.

Wish me luck.
