Hazy, lazy, crazy days of summer

It's still hot. It's still not raining ... well, other than a couple of brief (a few minutes long) rains that revive the flowers for a while. It was over 100 degrees again today, then the little rain lowered the temperature 30 degrees. Afterwards, the temperature climbed again, though not so high. We've been trying to keep the lawn alive ... many people have given up and have brown and crispy lawns. Our garden is doing well. Tomatoes love hot weather, though ours are very slow to turn red or yellow (we have two kinds).
Grandniece Ava and I attempt to get her on the floating tiger.

I tried to get closer to the sign, but the boxer on the right growled and tried to chase me away. OK, dog, I'm going.

Hey, it's hot outside. The boys decided to rest inside with the AC.

One of our cantaloupes. I'm just amazed that stuff is actually growing out there.

The new motion sensor in the laundry room. No more light switches. Love it!

The replacement ceiling fan in our bedroom. The old one was big, dark, ugly, and somewhat creepy.
