Summer has arrived

We have been very hot and humid for the last few days. Last week was really nice. We had about 8 inches of rain early in the week and then it was cloudy and cooler most of the week. Mom was here and it was really nice to sit out side in the morning and in the evenings. But this week after all that rain the mosquitoes are awful. They are not bothered by the heat even in the middle of the day.
All that rain was really good for the garden. We ate all the radishes and I got more planted. The tomatoes and squash are blooming. We are going to have plenty of onions too. Everything else is growing.
Mother was here for a visit and we mostly stayed home. She wanted to go into Houston to the Galleria but after all the rain we decided not to go this trip. They had major flooding in Houston.
Mom enjoyed playing with Morgan and we quilted on Laci's quilt. We did get it finished and got Daryl's quilt up. We really enjoyed the sewing room. There is plenty of room for the quilt frame and still room for Morgan to play. I am gradually getting all my craft stuff organized and put on the shelves. Mom helped me get the wall paper border up. We came up short about 6 feet so I had to order more. Glad we just stapled it up to see what it looked like. Will get it up permanently soon.
Johnny is finishing up the school year. Lots of paper work in special ed to get done at the end of the year. He will find out which school he will be assigned to next week. He has removed the porches and covers from Ethyl's trailer and got the carport moved also. They are getting ready to haul off her trailer house that was damaged during Hurricane Ike. She has moved into an assisted living home in Cleveland. We will have a lot of cleaning up to do when they finally get it moved.
We went to the panhandle for Rebecca and Phil's wedding. It was very nice. Justin was there and we got to visit with him. We stayed in Memphis with Dolores and had a really good visit with her. We enjoyed visiting with Phil's family who came from England.
Daryl and his whole family were over for dinner on Sunday for Johnny's birthday. We cooked ribs and burgers and had birthday cake. Johnny, Daryl, and James tried out Johnny's new fishing rod and reel. Everyone seemed to have a good time.
I hope to get the swimming pool up and running in the next few weeks. I am ready for a swim!
