TOO HOT?


YES!
I have not even been sleeping well because of the heat. I suppose most people haven't been across the country. We haven't broken any records this year, but it seems that we should have.
Today I cleaned a house in the heat because the powerlines were down nearby and there was no electricity in the neighborhood. It says on the weather that this weekend could reach 106 (which means 115 on the side of our shed). So far today it has gotten up to 105.9 on our back porch. Hey, this is the desert, you know.

My blessing for the day:
We do not live in an area where there is a lot of humidity. (I think you'd have to have me committed if there was!) AND that we have air conditioning...a way to escape the heat!

A brighter note:
The corn is growing profusely now, we should have sweet corn within a week! It likes the hot weather and if it has enough water it grows at an alarming rate.
My grandmother tells the story of her listeng to the corn grow late at night when she was newly married and they still lived in Missouri. She said it was so hot and humid that they couldn't sleep so they sat up and listened to the corn plants pop as it grew through the center upward.

The second cutting of hay has been baled for the most part. There is usually 3 good cuttings and perhaps if 4th small one, if the weather holds.

We have one more bloom to go on the roses, they bloom 3 times a year. Then, it will start to cool down.

Prayer:
For everyone that is in the heat, that they will have some way of cooling down.

STAY SAFE PEOPLE!
