Sprinklers and watermelon

Today it’s supposed to be another scorcher.  Channel Two said 105 with the heat index.  I weeded the garden this morning around 10 am, but it was still ridiculously hot.   We have tons of tomatoes and beans coming in, and the zucchini, cucumbers, and squash are starting to grow.  How exciting.

To help Ajax beat the heat we pulled out the sprinkler.  He was pretty hesitant at first and basically it was Dave and I both holding him running through it, but then he worked up a bit more courage and walked through it on his own and then thought it was fun to grab the sprinkler head and push it back and forth.

After the sprinkler fun Ajax relaxed with Dave and I and ate watermelon.  What a perfect summer day.

Safe distance, checking things out.
He didn't want to let go of my hand. It was cute.
I haven't run through a sprinkler in years and I must admit it was pretty fun.
Serious student of water sprinklers.
Does anything scream more than cold watermelon?
Ajax loves this little chair which we put up next to the patio set with us.
