Found my way to The Rabbit Hole, early... this morning.
Gave the Flowers a Drink... and, filled up The Fish's Trough, with Cool...
Water.
<3
Another... Toasty Day.
'Victoria Regina
60 Years
1897'
Victoria's Crown... flips back, to expose her Ink Well.
She's Silverplate... I, found her interesting.
: )
The grooves in her tray... are to hold Fountain Pens.
Another 'World'.
: )
The above... is a 'Snow Bird'.
Cast Iron.
Would've mounted on a roof, over a doorway, to keep ice, and snow... diverting it...
from falling on heads
This one... probably dates from the late 1800's, early 1900's.
It would make a Cool Shelf, or... Hook, inside... these days.
; )
Worn... Velvet.
: )
<3
LOVE... Victorian, Worn Velvet Boxes!
{Worn... Velvet... Anything. ; ) <3 }
Was Done... for this day, by Noon.
The early morning... was Lovely, by... 11, workin'... outside, I'd had enough.
; )
I don't run the 'Air' in the house, or vehicles... because I don't want to get acclimated to 'Air'.
The Rabbit Hole, doesn't have 'Air'.
Used to, but... not since the Greenhouse's arrived.
The House... stays pretty cool.
Cool enough... for me.
The new side, John built, stays very nice.
It's floor is set 4 feet under ground, so... it naturally stays cooler.
It has 16 foot ceilings, and is HEAVILY Insulated.
but...
Not for John. He couldn't take the heat.
We always ran the air... when he was here.
John had a heat stroke, 25 year's ago... or, so.
Once that happens, it's difficult to tolerate the heat again.
That brings me to Helper, Brandon.
Brandon helped me yesterday morning.
Little Justin, and Brandon... helped move brush... until about 2.
When Brandon left, we were all 'done', for the day.
It was gettin' Toasty.
Told Brandon, to go home... cool off, and put his feet up.
; )
He...didn't.
: (
Brandon... unloaded brush, went on, helped his Friend... move some Huge Logs... then, hung out laundry, for his Mom... until around 6, last night.
While Brandon was hanging the laundry, he went down.
Made it to his kitchen... where he went down, again... face first.
Gratefully, his Family was there... called an ambulance...
Brandon had a heat stroke.
: ( : ( : (
Brandon is Home... but, oh Lord...
I kinda scolded him, with his 'news'... this morning.
Told him to 'Stay Inside. Watch Movies... Push the Fluids... {Water!!} and Don't You Dare, do Anything, the rest of the week... for Anyone!!'
{Brandon... is a Worker Bee. He Hates... sittin' around.
By God... He'd Better, this week.}
Told Brandon... about John, and how after he went down, the same way... he couldn't tolerate 'Heat', after.
The Boys, don't understand how drinking 'water', is So Important.
They think 'Pop'... is the same thing.
It's not.
Water... Water... Water.
and...
not pushing so Hard... when it's HOT.
: )
Rest... now and then.
Find... Shade, now, and then.
Quit... for the Day, when you've had Enough.
Know...
when It's
'Enough'.
<3
I was going to have The Rabbit Hole Open... this week.
Nope.
: )
I can be Open... from 7 a.m. 'til Noon... for anyone who wants to slide by, but...
After 'Noon', nope.
Not this week.
; )
I feel for those who are on 'RAGBRAI',
riding their Bikes... across the entire State...of Iowa, this week.
oh... my.
Doesn't sound like much 'Fun'... to me.
; )
I have Friends who go every year.
: )
They get up early, pedal fast... while it's cool, then... camp, and Party... throughout the Heat of each Day.
; )
that...
might... be 'doable'.
: )
Maybe.
; )
{Nope...
I'm Still...
'Out'.
: ) : ) : )
I... can think of Several Things, I'd Love to Do...
Late July, in Iowa.
; )
Pedaling across the State, on a Bike, ain't one of 'em.
; )
Never Has Been!! }
: )
{Wish Them All.... The Very Best... Tho!! <3 }
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
