It was a hot one!

Happy Sunday everyone! Today is the perfect Summer day, warm, no humidity, a gorgeous blue sky, a gentle breeze... a nice relief from the past four steaming days. Oh boy, was it hot or what! On Friday, we decided that it was too hot to sit out, even in the shade. So we spent the day indoors. Yesterday morning, we woke up to the same humidity but as the day went on, it dissipated and we were able to sit out comfortably and eat outside. Today is perfect and we resumed our walks with our pooches. They were happy to be out and about again!

So, this past week was good but a tad too hot. We both went to the gym but were glad that we went in the morning. Somehow, even being in a cool air conditioned studio, it would not have felt good to work out in the afternoon. We spent our afternoons just chilling with the pooches. I did some fun training with them, still working on the maze obstacles that I created a few weeks ago.

Our VegTrug is growing out of control. Today, it actually looks like it's the end of August. The coriander is very tall and has some flowers. I cut a lot of it and I'm using it in recipes. Our basil is doing great. The lettuce is at its peak. Our cherry tomato pot is doing well. We have lots of clusters, some are ready to eat and some will be ready in a few days. Our flower beds are doing well also. Our grass didn't get cut this week, I suspect because of the heat so it's quite long. Cooper doesn't mind long grass but Spicy doesn't like it.... she hops like a rabbit in the grass. She's a funny girl.

Last Monday, we took part in some of the local Canada Day festivities and indulged our pooches in a pup cone. They loved it and we enjoyed watching them loving it.

This coming week will be a bit busy for me. Spicy and I will be visiting a seniors home on Wednesday. On Thursday morning, I have a mammogram....not my favorite thing to do but something I do every two years. This will be followed by a lovely lunch in the Old Montreal with Diane and Lise, two former work colleagues...we formed this little "club" last year called "Les Sexygenaires". All three of us turned 60 in 2018...enough said about the age. It will be fun to get together again and share some good laughs.

That's my blog for this week. I leave you, once again, with random pics of our pooches. I also include a pic of Pepper, Spicy's daughter, so much like her mom it's not funny. They both share the same quirks and both love to mess up their hairdo. This photo was taken by Pepper's human mom this past week, I thought it was so cute. I also include two photos that Darlah took years ago of both Cooper and Spicy swimming in their pool. Fitting given that we had such a hot week, I bet they would have loved to swim. Have a great week everyone!
