Hot - Hot - Hot!

They say it's a dry heat, so it's not so hot...Hummmm! When it's 100 and climbs to 106, every degree is noticed...and so the weather welcomed us to Indian Wells. That didn't, however, curtail any of the plans we had for enjoying the area! Richard golfed and golfed and golfed! When we got there, and then a tournament the next day and then a last round that afternoon. I swear the man is addicted! But then...this is a good addiction!


He of course could say the same about me...I visited as many fabric/yarn/bead stores I could find that weren't keeping summer hours. One store I visited was beads on one side and fabrics on the other. Unfortunately they weren't blended together in any way. When I asked how they came up with the idea they responded that it was the "hard" and the "soft". Still didn't quite get it, but oh well! The funny thing was, right next door was a yarn shop! Go figure!



In the afternoon I sat by the pool and people and bird watched. The water was everywhere, cascading, misting, being swam in! I loved the shots of the water I got and the birds were so willing to pose!



On Saturday night Richard and I attended a banquet in a ballroom that had a beautiful look back at the hotel! Heard a comic that night that had us in tears! He was the 2nd runner up in last season's "Last Comic Standing". Pretty funny!



We managed to escape the heat by staying in the A/C one day when I sewed and Richard watched - wait for it - golf! It was just as relaxing as the garden massage I had that morning. It started with a soak in bubbles with homeopathic oils in a private garden and ended with a wonderful massage in the same garden. Could hardly move afterward - but it was worth it!



On the way home we stopped to eat (and cool off) but were anxious to get back! After all we had angry kitties to calm down! And vegetables to harvest!



More zucchini than I know what to do with - still must find the zucchini bread recipe! The tomato plant has little flowers on it now and it's grown from the little boy it was, to taking up the whole bed with his brothers and sisters. And then there's the corn...can't wait for those babies to fill out! I keep checking them...still have a few weeks!

Was glad to get away...but always happy to return!
