It has been mega hot here lately. It is hard to believe that we had the latest snow on record here in Yamhill county just a few weeks ago in April, and now we have record breaking heat 3 days in a row.

The change from heat to cold has not been gradual at all, so it has been hard on all of us, including the animals.

Daphne and I decided one of the best ways to stay cool was to get a little wading pool set up. I blew it up and put it on our back porch. It worked out really well. There was a point yesterday when our neighbors were over here sitting in it with Daphne. Jared and I were standing in it to keep our feet cool.

Daphne really likes it, but her favorite thing is to get in and out of it. Since it is an inflatable pool, when she straddles the side of the pool, a bunch of water spills out, and the reaction she has when the water leaks out is just precious.
