Longing for Cool Autumn Days

It's hot, very hot. We've been cooped up in the house staying out of the heat. It's so hot the kids don't want to play outside. I'm out of ideas to keep them occupied. I considered taking them swimming; but, what's the point of going swimming when the pool water feels like a hot bath? Instead, they've been hanging out in the AC & trashing my house. There's much needing done around here, especially in the yard & garden; but, absolutely nothing is being accomplished except the slow destruction of my home by three, very bored children.

Oh, I am so looking forward to those cool, Autumn days.
