than Saturday was for sure! It was hot, hot, hot, but great, great, great! Plenty of water and shade breaks a necessity. Forgot the pops (sorry!)..they are now in the freezer and ready to chill out with. My mom suggested cold rags chilled in a cooler (thanks mom!) so I will have those regularly available as well. Here is what we will be working on tonight and through the week. It WILL be good! -Donna
