Fun in the Carolina Sun!

Wow! The heat here has been brutal! It has been in the upper 90's all week and the heat index has been in the 100's. Plus, we've noticed that there isn't hardly any wind here so it is a stale heat. There was a slight breeze today that was nice. It isn't anything like Missouri, though! I assume there is more wind when hurricanes come through!

This morning we went to the local home improvement store to get a trimmer for the yard. We also picked up a water hose, a rake and a shop broom. The pine needles are crazy in our yard so we will be raking them up and sweeping them off the drive and sidewalk. The water hose is really for washing the car, but it will also work well to fill up her kiddie pool (when we buy it) and for the new sprinkler we bought! Every kid needs a sprinkler to play in, right???
