It's extremely hot on this side of the world!
We had to rescue our plants. The kids and I moved them from one side of our deck to the other, where there is a little bit of shade. We also had to install that green umbrella to protect the plants that didn't get any shade from the wall. If those plants could talk they would give the kids and I a BIG thank you.
(You're welcome :)
oThey look so much happier now!

We have been talking a lot about this heat. So, Natalie, as the practical/creative person that she is, had to come up with some kind of invention in order to make life easier under this temperature. So she created a pair of Paper shoes for Diego! :o

(Diego couldn't open his eyes for this picture because he said that they were going to get burn by the sun)
All you need to make this type of shoe is some paper and tape. No special cutting or measuring. Just wrap the paper around your feet and tape each shoe on the top. They're guaranteed to keep your feet nice and fresh.
These shoes expire in about 15 minutes if you don't walk a lot in them or in a minute and a half if there is a lot of running involved.
:o
Happy Summer!
(Billy, how do you like our plants in the new place? We hope that you're having a wonderful time in Malaysia. Missing you!!!! All of us :)
Awesome shoes! Good thinking using red tape. It looks like racing stripes!
Also, your plants are all so pretty together like that. I live in Florida, and it's very hot for plants here, too. They all like a bit of shade everyday from that crazy sun.

Very Stylish! By the looks of it, I think
Diego needs a paper hat or visor to go with.
God Bless You and Yours!!!
