Today the most strenuous thing we did was go to KMart in Rolla about 30 miles away. It was time to get one of Bob's prescriptions refilled. We hadn't been to this town before so had to stop to ask directions. The town is good sized and seemed to have everything you could want.
It is incredibly hot here. We hit 100 today with a heat index of 106. Everything is so dry. We have to water the tomato plants daily because they wilt so much and now the lower branches are starting to turn yellow. We're getting quite a few tomatoes and lots of grape tomatoes and the cherry are coming along very nicely. Nothing like fresh tomatoes in the dinner salad or thick slices on toast with mayo, salt and lots of pepper.
Remember the picture of the baby swallows that was posted a couple of days ago, it showed 3 babies in a nest. Well, come to find out there are five of them in that small nest. They are teetering on the edge of the nest so they won't be in there long. I hope when they go they go fast because Miss Kitty the campground cat spends some of her time in the area where the nest is. When she does walk in the area the swallows dive bomb her until she leaves. Its something to see. I don't know if the poor cat knows the nest is up in the eaves or not. If not, she probably is wondering what she did to deserve this treatment from the birds.
Its been a lazy day for us, but only because of the heat. We'll see what tomorrow brings our way.
