 We're havin' a heat wave, a tropical heat wave♬♫♪ The 90's are not welcome for the plants or animals. Or people for that matter.

I could have put my elder child in a room full of nails and she wouldn't have touched one. The younger would have built a house and stuffed a few in her ears and nose. Ah, I remember the Christmas tinsel in the nostril episode... but I digress! So far she's not visited my back yard to feast on the hostas. DH and I struggled to complete the garden fence, or Boarder Wall, as he's named it. W...
