I hated to do this, but turned on the air conditioner. <sigh>, there goes the bill. <growl>. It was so hot and getting stuffy even with the ceiling fan, it was hard to breathe comfortably.
I am dreading August. |

I am resisting to turn on the AC. It is only May for Pete's sake.

Got an unexpected day off and have suckered, staked and tied three rows of eleven ea in the past hour and a half. 80 here but my shirt was soaked after ten minutes. Fat and outa shape doesn't jive with getting the garden going. Love it tho. Maybe have time for two more rows before I wear out or the rain arrives. Looks like Louisville is wet and its coming my way.

We are hitting a hundred, then plus some for all the paving, etc as I am downtown just about.
I hated to do it, but breathing is very nice. Besides, if too hot, I won't eat or sleep well. |

It's definitely air you can wear here. Been out in the garden all day and man was it muggy. Only 84 degrees but the heat index is 90+ with the humidity being in the mid 70's. Now sitting in the AC and it feels really good.

I don't know where you are but my a/c is on at least 11 months out of the year. It is so humid/muggy hear most of the time so a/c it is. I hate August too, and June, July and September can be added too. After that I don't mind being outside.

Wichita Falls. We have the bike endurance race in August, near the end, and it is brutal. I didn't expect the end of May to be this hot, LOL, but it is as it is.

Wow, I thought that area was really hot most of the year too, unless snowing of course. I thought you had a dry heat. Oh, that's the difference, dry heat and not humid heat.

Depends on the weather. You get a nice soaking thunderstorm followed by a 100° day and you'll want to go to Houston to cool off...

We had some severe storms move through around 5 pm and thankfully the worst part stayed a few miles away. There were 3 tornado warnings with 15 miles, mostly south of us. We
Did get about an inch of rain and thankfully dodged the hail. If this keeps up I might get some tomatoes this year. |

I have spent most of the day outside cooking, eating, watering, looking, fertilizing and putting out more snail killer and it is now 85.
Inside feels good at 70. Just as the sun set my neighbor decided to weed wack and vacuum his driveway. What an intrusion on an otherwise wonderful and peaceful evening. Worth |

Yo Hoosier, over here in Brownsburg had a hard wind last evening around 9:30, several tom plants with a bit of damage - no hail, not too bad. There are 6 pear trees ripped apart so winds must have hit 60 mph for a bit. They say possible more for tomorrow - hope the race gets done ok and we don't get hammered! I have 60 in the ground now for a couple weeks - all doing well - I did a lot of Dwarfs
for the first time-little stocky fella's So we shall see..........good luck to you! Pete |
