The calender still says June, but to the body it feels more like August, what is up with the weather this year, oh wait, and last year too? We seem to be a month early at least all year long, so far anyway. Spring only lasted a month before summer hit hard and dry! And summer hasn't officially begun yet, I'm wondering what August will bring? Plus, at this rate, I"m already hoping fall will be early too!
And, I'm not alone in my thinking and wishing, most everyone has complained about the above normal temps and lack of rain, so at least I know it's just not me! As I get older, and I turn a year older in a few days, I don't take kindly to the heat, not when the number hits 90 and climbing. Can't forget the humidity either, it's been up there too, so humid the other night, my camera lens was too foggy for a clear shot! I feel for the wildlife, plant life and all the air conditioners working overtime trying to keep our houses comfy, man, am I ever grateful for air conditioning!
So, how do you stay cool and beat the heat other than stay inside? I like to watch Christmas movies or winter themed, anything with snow in it, you get the idea! The old tea jug is working overtime too and oh yes, ice cream is a must, and well earned after a evening of weeding the garden......I guess I don't have to tell you summer is not my favorite season! Stay cool and HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all the dad's out there!
we are not getting our summer yet..we usually get it after the 4th of july..so we are enjoying the mild temps..which are normal here..maybe you should move here..;) I bought a wonderful icecream yesterday..it has toy story 3 on it..it was vanilla icecream with lemonade sherbet mixed in..oh my godness it was refreshing.;) stay cool.;)
ReplyDeleteIt was 90+ here today! I love ice cream and I am always looking for a great recipe. I also like to dip a red hankie in cold water and put it around my neck!
ReplyDeleteIced Tea with lemon helps a lot!!
ReplyDeleteAfter 90+ temps and higher heat index, we had a storm pass through this afternoon. It's about 6:30...J just came in from getting the mail and said it has really cooled off. I took a look at weatherbug, which tells me it's 74. Lovely...big aaaahhhhh.....
Took a nap this afternoon.:-)
Can I relate I do not do well in the summers of Florida. I do not go to the beach however I do love to garden but it is too hot so I can truly understand
ReplyDeleteStay cool

I could have written this post! This morning when I stepped outside, my glasses fogged up! This early summer has really started off with a bang and the humidity is just terrible. Like you, we're having lots of ice tea, ice cream, and I even have fans going to supplement the a/c. I hadn't thought about Christmas movies~a great idea, Sue!
ReplyDeleteWe have very low humidity, under 10 percent. It`s been dry and fire season came in with a bang.
ReplyDeleteWe do our outside work early in the morning, before 10:00. Then inside work in the air conditioning. I hope to be walking at 6:00 this morning. The bees swarms are scary. I almost don`t want to leave the yard.
Enjoy your a/c. We only have it in one room. Glad we have shade!

It is definitely hot!
ReplyDeletekeepin that Jug of tea full and watching Christmas movies sounds like a fine idea!
Oh how thankful I am for cold air in the house. You are so right... and another thing.... deodorant! haha
Just imagine life without it. God bless whoever invented THAT!
I usually melt all day outdoors, then come in and take a cool shower, and chill myself in front of the fan. Myguy likes to go for A SONIC "vanilla dish," in the evenings. -- Now that you mentioned ice cream; I've been thinkin bout buying a maker and so hopefully you'll be havin more ice cream recipes. My berries are almost ready!
Stay cool chickadee!

Whee, HOT it is!! We are dangerously near the triple digits! I can't do anything outside now after the sun comes up, so I'm out there at 6 am. watering and such. Yep, the iced tea jug is a great idea and I like to watch those old movies too:) Once July is here I allow myself to start looking through books and planning my Christmas gift making list ~ it takes my mind off of the heat.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a wonderful birthday Sue!!:)
