frying today...

chicken that is...
cooked it this morning before the afternoon heat...
had it for supper...
with mashed potatoes and peas...
remember to wipe off the lens of the camera when you step outside...
or you get shots like this...
and then after 3 or 4 photos like that, you finally figure out they look funny...
and you take you shirt tail and start wiping...
the tomatoes love this heat!
there are quite  a few on here now...
I can almost taste them...
we are holding our own...
Daphne loves the heat and the hotter the better...
she doesn't move a lot...
she is in pain most of the time, I think...
but she will not come inside...

a few hot weather tips...
besides drink so much water you have to sit in the bathroom half the day...
change the filters on the furnace if you have central air(we did that today and made a huge difference)...
or wash your filter if you have ac...
find shade when you can...
or a pool...
a pool in the shade would be great...
eat lots of ice cream...
wet towels on top of your head and around your neck really do help...
eat lots of reese's peanut butter cups...
eat out and don't heat up the kitchen...
google blizzard and check out all the snow we don't have and be happy with the heat...
close all your blinds and curtains so when you run around in the house in your under wear, the neighbors won't freak out...
and last but not least, turn the hose on and have a little fun!
Have a great evening...

the heat wave continues here...

as with most of the US...
we are in a heat advisory/warning until 7pm Saturday...
the grass is turning brown in spots...
and leaves are falling...
the walnut tree has many yellow leaves...
but there was one cloud in the sky last night...
and it looked like it had brush strokes in it...
I thought it was awesome...
we missed out on all the rain...
the ac units around here are having trouble keeping the moisture out...
I can't get ours below 40% humidity in here, but ours is doing better than most...
it's staying right around 79...
DH said the office at work, and it's a very small building...
was leveling out at 87 on the highest setting...
and the moisture was awful...
so many are finding their ac just wasn't made for this kind of humidity...
we could use a dehumidifier, but then what would we do with it the rest of the year?
just a few more days...
a few more days...
but then we have August...
I don't even want to think about that...
not yet...
July is bookin' right along the way it is...
where does time go?
