I have been to the garden...

...and it is hot. The remote digital thermometer is copping to 97 degrees F (36C). The front-of-the-house air conditioner and the back-of-the-house air conditioners are both on -- and yes, the Desert People are allowed to laugh at such wimpishness.

This morning early, while it was only 80F (27C) or so, we had a round of playing in the dirt in the Cat Garden. This was much more challenging for kinzel, who did the actual heavy lifting and digging and such, while I stood around making Encouraging Noises(tm) and occasionally transporting the rocks Elsewhere.

After the garden we did some general yard clean-up, then kinzel made a pilgrimage to Home Despot while I did house chores. I am pleased to report that the dishes have been washed, Scrabble has been thoroughly brushed, the rest of the cats have been Adored, litter boxes have been dealt with; I removed the Zip drive from my computer, installed and tested the new external hard drive. Lunch (half an Arby's roast beef sandwich with horsey sauce, and half an order of curly fries, provided by kinzel) has been eaten, I'm showered, relaxed -- and lazy. So -- off to the couch, me, to finish up with Crouching Vulture, Leaping Loon.

BAWH!

That is too HOT.

It will be that hot before we leave the agility thing tomorrow. That's why we have to be there at 6am. I'm not sure mymom is actually going to get up at 3am to do this. She'll have to prove it to me.
