Hot Weather Continues...No AC!!!!!!

Wow! Another hot one!!! I didn't know how long
it might continue, so I thought I'd better make some bean pickles before they got too old. My sister picked them the other day and they were sitting in my fridge waiting for me!!! My husband loves dill beans, so each year I make some. It's amazing how many beans it takes to get 6 quarts. He was happy to see them sitting on the dishwasher when he arrived home from work yesterday.










Today it was very nice at 6:15 when I took Scarlett for a walk....nice temp and very quiet. Came back and decided it was too hot to really do much of anything......THEN....a moment of weakness!!!.......orange-flavoured sticky buns.
I got the recipe from the Company's Coming Bread Book...and they turned out really yummy, especially after I drizzled the icing all over them.






I've been warping my loom for the rag rug off and on today....other things keep interrupting me. I've been wanting to purchase a couple of small "WEAVE-IT" looms from eBay but they are very expensive...SO...I decided to get DH to make me a couple...a 2" and a 4" one....he's in the process as you can see. Finished pics will follow soon I hope. Who knows what I'll make with them....they'll travel well in the car on our trip to NS in September. I used a pattern on this website www.robertsspark.com....it's a good one.




Scarlett is being really lazy these days too....mostly lying around on the hardwood floor trying to keep cool. I'm looking forward to my sister's birthday lunch tomorrow at an Asian restaurant...love the sushi and good variety of veggie dishes offered. After lunch four of us are going to golf together....lots of laughs to look forward to.
Tonight I'm going over to visit with my darlin' grandkids for a bit until the "real" babysitter arrives! We were over last night for about an hour; we hadn't seen them for over a week....both were very active and definitely showing off for Grammy & Grampy!!!!! What great kids they are.
