Out the backdoor

Is it hot out there or what? My thermometer says 105 degrees in the shade. Thank goodness the wind is blowing 20 mph or we'd roast.

Mr. Fuzz has a new friend. She's pretty skittish, but never fails to show up for a meal. I've touched her twice and been hissed at for my trouble. Please ignore the sad looking mulch job and the bare rose canes. I'm ripping this bed apart come Fall. About the only thing doing well in this heat is the watermelon in the rose bed.The squash is blooming, finally. I don't have high hopes that I'll get much of a crop.This grape cracks me up. It's suddenly decided it likes where it's planted and it's growing like a weed. This is the one that the dog chewed off at the ground and it's been moved twice. Here's a picture of it almost a year ago.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thursday.

I was just thinking squash is universally easy to grow! Just add water and you will get more fruit than you know what to do with. We get stray cats all the time and I am at carrying capacity. NO MORE!! I'll ship them over to you if you dont mind. ;)

Poor little kitty...I hate that there are so many dumped kitties and feral kitties out there. I wish people were more responsible with their animals. That grape vine looks fabulous!

I finally got on? Your blog has not been loading or I get a error message and the blog is gone? It's been happening alot around blogger? It's warming up again here, does that mean your heat is heading this way? Hope not! Our garden is catching up too!
