Why’s the rum gone?

This week has been a welcome respite from several days of a 100° plus heat index.  Thomas  got in last night around 9:30, and both of us were up bright and early to take Bonnie for a walk.  Imagine my delight when the thermometer read a mere 68° at 8:30 AM.  We walked along the edge of the zoo, but the gibbons were quiet today.   Altogether, it was an uneventful outing until Bonnie saw one of our resident foxes in the backyard and wanted to play.  Thomas has some great pictures of the whole fox family (2 parents, 3 babies) playing in the shade, and I’ll try to get them up soon.

The garden is looking great, our Gypsy peppers being the only exception.  The tomatoes, basil and melons all look fabulous!

In other news, I’ve been cooped up inside despite the nice weather as I struggle to get all of my coding done for my second job.  The whole project is much more difficult than I anticipated.  Fortunately, class starts on Monday and I will be able to hang out in the Peabody library to work. (Much easier than trying to get a couple hours in after a full day at the child care center.)

The suite 703 alums are headed to Cabana tonight for girls night. Too bad more coding to do = no rum punch for Laura. If anyone has a recipe for rum punch they want to share…send it along!
