Still Too Hot

Ninety-six degrees again today. All efforts went toward weed eradication. Without a curious puppy tasting everything I touch, I was able to mix up what I hope to be a witch's brew of herbicide. I was a bona fide tree hugger in the 60's and still put Ma Nature first but there is a point when facing several acres of horsetail fern, blackberries, nettles, marsh buttercup.... that pulling just can't cut it.
Work ended with a visit from BrownStone Lupin and her family. They came to take advantage of our front yard pond to cool off from the city heat.

The front pond is an inviting place on a hot day.
