Lots of Water and a High SPF

Helped with a fundraising golf tournament, and it was another scorcher. We've now had seven consecutive days over 100.  I'm all for record breaking, but not so enthusiastic about this one.  At 103 degrees -- we once again broke the record from 1980.

Today is the last day of school -- Popsicles for everyone!

We had record high temperatures, and the ice was melty, but the skaters all appeared to be having a great time.

We DIS-Like Ike

Hurricane preparations.  We've done the drill before, but it looks like we could get smacked pretty hard this time.  We're not in any flood plains or storm surge areas though, so we're staying put.

Don't worry, that's not all our batteries or candles.  Just a few for a quick pic.  Yesterday we put up all the potted plants in the yard and cleaned up anything that weighed less than a mobile home. (I just read Karina's post from last night and see that she did the same thing -- photographers who love plants shouldn't live in hurricane zones, except that everything grows so well here)    

The hummingbirds are very angry that their feeders are down.  They keep coming to the window and talking to us.  I told them service would resume when it would be safe for them to come back.  

Today we have time to finish some indoor preparations like filing water containers, gathering batteries, important papers, putting mattresses near the "tornado bathroom" etc.

The plastic containers?  I'm filling them with water and stuffing them into the freezer to make ice blocks to keep things cold in case we lose power.  We all have our quirky little things that we do to prepare.  

For those who have been following our kitchen saga, note that we now have countertops and backsplash.  We're actually nearly finished.  Just hope we don't get to start over next week.

The BIG Freeze.  All of Houston was shut down because of the ice storm.
