THE SCOOP #231
Here we are in mid-summer! Can you believe it? Where did the first part of the summer go? I know my southern friends are braving terrible heat, but here at StoneGable it’s been heavenly. Sorta like San Diego weather. Which is so off for us this time of year, but I am so thankful for it. That means we can spend so much more time outside! Make sure you stop back here Wednesday and see a super cute outdoor summer table using all plasticware! YES, plasticware! Meanwhile, you can enjoy all the great post and inspiration of this week’s SCOOP!
Hi my Scoop friends! It is hot, hot, hot and humid here in NC. I manage to do a little outdoor work very early in the mornings, before the worst of the heat and humidity set in, but then it’s inside to the a/c for me! How about where you live? Any tricks for beating the heat?

Thank you so much Yvonne!
Well, its HOT HOT HOT here in Alabama and I have started using my hot tub as a cooling tub. I have brought my two umbrellas over near the tub and open them both up to shade my hot tub. Then when I get unbearable hot outside I slip into the (hopefully) cool water. 🙂 gwingal
