Solomon Homestead

Homestead in August

Boy is it hot!!!! Heat indexes are in the 100's and all this humidity...YUCK!

We (me, hubby and children) helped our youth department host VBS at the state park campground all week long in the evenings. It was great fun for the kiddos. Very hot and sticky but the last day was water day...slip n slide and mud pit (filled up the sand pit with water).

My garden, herb garden and flowers are burned up. We haven't had rain in awhile. The sun has pretty much burned everything to a crisp. I pulled the wildflowers and weeds out of my herb bed and then watered the herbs. Have to carry water to the garden everyday as our outside faucet is broken. My poor peppers, green beans, strawberries and squash are soooo wilted come noon.

Been schooling since it is so hot out. Meals have been very light if at all...it's just too hot to eat. We have all been drinking plenty of water and the kiddos have been living on popcicles LOL. Yep it's August.
