It was hot today in the Valley although very breezy -- a hot breeze. I was outside working in the yard most of the day ... weeding and deadheading flowers, trimming forsythia bushes and getting sweaty and tired ... and the sun was hot. A late-afternoon thunderstorm ran me inside only to leave us with only thunder, lightning, and wind while all the rain went north of here.
When I went back outside after dinner to water my flowers, SWAC Husband was watering the tomatoes in the garden. I noticed a substantial leak in the hose so decided to try and scoot the leaky section to the garden so all that water would go on vegetables ... except the hose didn't cooperate. It twisted and turned and twisted again like a snake ... I jumped and screeched and tried to throw it over the fence ... it twisted back on me -- yowie, that water was cold! -- and ... well, let's just say I'm watered from head to toe!

Next time I'll turn off the hose first. Got my towel; now I need to go outside and get back to work....
Water hose, 1; SWAC Girl, 0.
