    Still hot - mid 90's and humid for today (the 11/12th day straight of this heatwave), then tomorrow and the rest of the week is supposed to be mid/upper 80"s. It will be nice to walk out the door without feeling that someone threw a hot wet blanket on you, but it will be some time before the a.c. gets turned off - Sept at the earliest. Summer and the heat still has a long time to go yet. Still no rain forecast tho, other than "isolated showers".

    No rain forcasted here either Ellie. Very dry here. It is nice to walk out the door and not feel like you walked into a wall!

    I just took Taggart for a walk (let him run loose at the park....shhhh, don't tell) and it is only 72F here but it feels much hotter. This has been a mild summer so far. We are used to being in the 100's most of the time. So I'll take what we're getting right now!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I just came back from a trip down south and it was anywhere from 98-103 most days. Crowds, lines, plus heat - no thanks! My last trip south during mid-summer, that's for sure! Although it hasn't been much better here in good ol' NJ. I've always been one who prefers cold to heat, thanks to my old job, sooooo this isn't working for me. Alaska, here I come!

    It's been pretty warm, but last night we had a STORM and a half yesterday evening.

    I started the grill and boy, was that fun.

    The lightning close and the lightning was loud, but the rain - as nice and cooling as it was?

    It got so bad that I could not see the house across the street.

    A bunch of lightning related problems too!

    Satan came by and asked for a tray of ice.

    The P.M. showers and t-storms have been awesome.

    It was 95 yesterday and has been around that for a week or so. As others have said, the heat is bad but the HUMIDITY makes it even worse. When I take the girls out for a walk, I break out in a sweat immediately and tell them to "hurry up, that mama has to get back to the a/c" LOL. Naturally that does not hurry them at all. Actually LilGirl loves to just lie down & stretch out in the full SUN and Sissy has a tiny attention span-like a gnat I think--& it just takes awhile for them to do their thing. Anyway I'll be glad for at least less humidity.

    We had a bad thunderstorm and lots of wind on July 25, blew down trees in my goat lot (goats are ok), mannnny twigs & limbs all around the house & driveway, blew chairs and my swings over, blew part of grape arbor over, many trees down in our area, no power for 6 hrs. It's all fixed now for the most part. I'm thinking "snow" Kay in central NC

    The week after I made this post it was up in the 100's. This week is much cooler (almost even cold at night). Actually, yesterday morning it was so misty I had to turn on my wipers on my way to work. I just wish it would make up its mind. Such drastic changes in the weather are hard to handle.
