The 90’s are Back!

We had these temps earlier this month, and they are back! With the dew point and humidity being high, these will feel like 103 to 105. The muggy meter said sweltering, ugh! Air conditioning weather for sure! Guess the weatherman wasn’t kidding when he said it would be a super El Niño this year. Even the winter earlier this year was much warmer than normal. If any of you are in this heat wave, stay inside or stay well hydrated!!!

Monday Funny!!!

I’m not sure what the first weed is, but they don’t look fun! The 2nd weed is a Goathead from out west, and they can flatten a bicycle tire in a heart beat and go right through a flip flop into your foot!!! It’s generally only funny if you’ve experienced them and as a memory as you try to explain them to someone else!!!

My Work In Progress is the Brick Work Baby Blanket by Gena Shaffer, a free pattern on Ravelry. It’s not one you can just knit without thinking a little bit, but it’s not hard, just gotta keep track of the rows. I figure I’m about 1/3 of the way done.

We are having a heat wave in June right now!! With the heat index today, we were about 92 and tomorrow they are saying with the heat index about 98. This is usually our late July/August weather. I’m not ready!!! But they are saying on Thursday we will be back in the 80’s and by the weekend in the mid 70’s, whew! I see many are having this problem, you all stay safe!!

Memorial Day 2026

/ LDSVenus

Giving special reverence today to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice, their lives, for what they loved, their families and a free and safe country. May we honor them and always remember that freedom has a price, and keep this country free and safe in their honor for the families of all those who died to protect us all. Prayers said for their families.

Cria First Shearing

/ LDSVenus

The first picture is Apollo at about 7 weeks old, so cute. The second picture is right after his shearing this last Monday, he’s 8 months old, amazing how fast they grow. I wish I had a picture just before his shearing, he was sooo much fluff!!! What a difference after the shearing! Once all their fluffy fiber is gone you can see how they look under all that fiber and how long their necks are, look at those fluffy ears!!! He’s a sweetie though, a defluffed sweetie but a sweetie nevertheless. He also is a medium fawn color now instead of the light fawn his beginning fiber was. So many bags of fiber to skirt from shearing day!
