Dismas Survives the Heat!

It was a hot start to the week. Monday found many of the residents sweltering among the tomato and bean plants. Alex tried to convince Ward that the greenhouse was well over 100 degrees, which Ward brushed off with a laugh. Let me tell you though if it wasn't 100, it had to be close. The construction of bat houses resumed with our master carpenters, Danny and Joe. After a cool lunch indoors, the wool room in the upstairs of the barn was cleaned out, with hopes of turning it into a space for case management. The day ended with some hay bailing with the help of the newly refurbished bailer. Finally, some wonderful ladies from St. Richard's church brought a delicious meal of barbecue chicken and potato salad. We ended the night with some team pool play and a movie, The Hurt Locker. As we awoke this Tuesday morning, we were happy to see it would not be as hot as Monday
