at a snail's pace

It has been hot and humid in our neck of the woods-

 literally too hot to move.

Steve and I took Lulu for a walk into town yesterday

and we all moved at a snail's pace, melting with each step and

stopping multiple times to cool off.

 Projects around the house seem to be moving at a snail's pace as well.

We're still working on the kitchen (waiting on the painter) so I have been simply freshening up things all over the house.

 Costco mums from my neighbor were too big for the house so I had to move things around on the porch.

I found on old linen tablecloth (with a few holes) in the attic and used it in the garden for dinner, but it didn't survive a washing so I cut it up to make tea towels.

My garden window got an update with a quote (I used dry erase pens to write on the glass) and a metal garland of hearts.

 I have to pick up the pace tomorrow because an blogging/Instagram, Renee of Joy in Every Season is in town and dropping by to meet me on Tuesday.

I still have a few things left on my list,

but I am not worried

because another Instagram friend @pmacaulay was in town over the weekend with her whippets

who didn't seem to mind that there are a few weeds here and there.

Although I think they had more fun at Lulu's favorite beach.

We really do need to get the kitchen finished and maybe what I need is to have more blogging friends drop by.

Does anyone want to stop by next week?
