We were supposed to be gone visiting our Little Miss this week. However, the turbo charger in the truck stopped turbo-ing, so we were home for THE Weather.
It was probably a good thing we were here for all five days of the “h-e-double toothpicks” ( that’s an old quote of Betty’s). No one is going to care for your animals, the gardens and the fields like yourself. As the heat started to rise last Friday we zipped out early for a yard sale and found the one thing we actually needed.
At a whooping $3.00, a shade cloth was procured for the ‘little boys’. Carlos, Santana and Smooth appreciated our efforts, but nothing really beats a sprinkler.
The heat wave certainly ‘encouraged’ us to finish our upgrades to our sprinkler system.
Any gardening I did was done in the early morning or the 30 minutes between ‘it’s not hot as hell anymore’ and ‘oh, Bad British Word the mosquitos are out’.
As we do not have A/C, we did ‘all the things’. The windows, the drapes, the fans, the fans in the windows, cold lite beer instead of red wine. Every afternoon we went for a nice long drive through the countryside in our air conditioned car to protect our dwindling sanity.
I tried telling My Loving Spouse that he didn’t get to complain about the heat, as he complains about the cold and the wind. It was my turn.
We did however, make it..
Thank the Lord.
The wind is blowing which has cooled everything off.
It’s not a breeze, it’s more of a gale.
Someone is doing his best to not complain about it, which I appreciate and
…we are blessed.
Happy Independence Day to you all.
Oh jeeze! I read somewhere that about 2/3rds of homes in the Seattle area have no central AC, so misery has lots of company I guess!
Yep, usually no need. Often when it is hot it is only in the afternoon, so this is rare. Happy for the wind today!
