Summer?

Yesterday, I was seriously wondering if it was really summer. We've been getting LOTS of rain. So much so that we haven't needed to have our little irrigation system hooked up. That's unheard of for Oklahoma in August. I guess our climate has changed. It's been raining so much that there are mushrooms - huge mushrooms - growing everywhere. It's even been on the cool side in the mornings. But not to worry, by early afternoon, it is hot and steamy. I was a sweaty mess while taking these pics yesterday!

On another note, I'm not sure I should be allowed to cook. Just keep me away from the kitchen. I have a hard time making Jell-o. Jell-o of all things. I always end up with undissolved bits in it, and it really frustrates me. I made some of the orange variety the other day, and while I ended up with the ever-present bits, that wasn't the worst of it. I went to get some yesterday, and whaddaya know? The  darn thing was frozen. At first, I thought it was just on the top. It was really interesting. I the sheet of ice off the top and put it back....and it came back! Then, I went to eat some, and oh my! There was ice all the way through the Jell-o! Can you see the fingers of ice coursing through it? Finally. when the ice came back for the third time, I just threw it all away. Thank goodness there's a Subway nearby. At least we won't starve!

Finally, some gratutitous pics of the puppies all taken yesterday! Scooby's trying to make it up a tree to catch one of those ever-elusive squirrels! I guess they got pretty warm on our walk (I took them on my mushroom photo shoot), because they were pooped when we got home! That's Mimi cuddling with me. She's such a little snuggler!
