hot hot hot!!!











We're still in a bit of a hot spell. All a/c's are installed and working well! The portable one we picked up the other night is doing a very good job - but really not incredibley "portable" It has to stay near a window (much like a window unit) and unlike a window unit which can drain the water outside, this one requires a container for the water to drain into. But, it does do a good job - is much larger than our old unit and hopefully a bit more energy efficient!

Kris's room over the kitchen was getting quite warm, so he and Rick installed a small window unit to keep that room cool. Which means, of course, that the heating pad under the lizard lair must be kept going so the lizards don't get to cold. So, we're basically heating and cooling the same room.... hmmmmmmm

The baby lizard didn't make it, by the way. Kris was giving him baby food, but this didn't seem to be what he wanted (really?????) Anyway, the little guy passed on to lizard heaven last week. I believe he's buried out back somewhere

We made a quick trip of to Centennial Lake yesterday to put up some signs - glad we went yesterday - it was cloudy and not quite so warm as today. We've quite enjoyed our quiet day inside today. We did make a quick trip to Giant Tiger in Quebec this afternoon - the only store open as Quebec doesn't celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday. We noticed going over the bridge that the water levels were quite low. It has been a while since we have had any significant rainfall and none in the forecast either.

today's picture - not a great one - but a large cultivated field in near Shawville looking very dry & one of Buddy having a nap
