I broke down last evening and mowed.  It was 85 degrees and muggy.  I was drenched with sweat and my energy was gone by the time I was done.  My cool towel helped a bit, but for me it wasn't enough.  I also did a little weeding as I trimmed so things are looking a bit better in the front.  I will do the sides and back yard this weekend.  Here is what the front looked like before I mowed
 and what it looks likes after.  A bit better I would say.
I got a couple more flowers on that day lily.  They are big flowers at almost 6" across.
Before the yard work I of course watched the Tour de France that I had taped from earlier and quilted on the Harley quilt.  I managed to get four shirts quilted!  So I now am 43% done with the quilting.  The black Las Vegas and Savannah shirts took a while to do.  There was a lot of tracing around the designs and letters, and there was a lot of stopping and starting which you cannot even see in the picture.  
We have rain again this morning.  There was lighting at 4:30 that woke me up and a bit of rain, but it started a steady rain about six a.m.  This has got to be the rainiest July in a long time.
This will be another day the sitework contractors can't work.  They are a bit ahead of schedule which is a good thing, because this week is going to be nothing but rain.  I can now spend my day catching up on paperwork.

We have had the wettest July too, way above the normal. Some areas in the northern suburbs of Chicago got 6.5" of rain yesterday. We only had 3/4" which was a nice amount.
It was 94 here yesterday when I went out to weed in the shade. I only lasted 30 minutes.
Your garden looks great. I like the way your stitching on the t-shirts adds a texture that makes the logos stand out so well.
