Hot in the Ozarks & Ramblings

   Summer came in with the Solstice yesterday. Hit mid 90's and will continue  through next week as  well. What a complete turn around here from too much rain and perfectly comfortable temperatures to this extreme heat wave-I will need to water my perennials this evening going forward.

  Snoopy says it best haha Of course the non seniors are loving this weather so the lake is crazy-always fun to watch the different boats go by

Yesterday morning I mowed on the hill and stood on a gravel path down to the lake that Larry put in a few years ago. Some how this messed up my back by evening yesterday. ugh I have lost a lot of weight figuring out what to eat for the acid reflux and over the winter I have lost a lot of muscle too I will need to work on that. Still in a lot of pain today so could not get outdoors to work this morning.

 We mostly eat port and chicken and I am eating more ocean fish now too. Today Larry informed me he is tired of pork and wants more beef. He never says anything so this must have been on his mind for awhile With his heart condition I didn't think beef was all that good for him. I did look it up online and it suggested beef cuts good for seniors.   The wal mart  here where we live now has horrible meat, and the beef prices are out of line too.  The local grocery store has a better selection to choose from so will need to explore that next time. I also put in a request for meat shops near me in a local facebook group for this area of the lake. Maybe there is butcher shop that sells meat nearby.

   I was a vegetarian in the past for several years and I  never cared for a lot of beef anyways growing up so I really am not good at cooking it either-Will need to look into that.

  :Looks like our nation has gone from too much rain and storms to a massive heat wave.

Stay safe everyone.  Oh and looking out my kitchen window today I saw a couple different butterflies and also one hummingbird enjoying the milkweed flowers  Smiles
