More Hot Days Ahead

We have had weeks of near 100 degree weather. The crops are drying up for lack of rain in our part of the country. They said a cold front was coming through last night and it cooled it down from 99 to 87. That is not enough of a cool down for me. And then the rain went around us again. We saw all kinds of lightning in every direction but no rain here. I read in the paper that we could expect it to stay hot right into Fall. That is not a good prospect. I hope they are wrong.

Very Hot Weather

We are having unusually hot weather. It has been nearly or at 100 for two days. Today it is down to 82 and the wind has died down a lot. Everyone wants warm summer weather but it can get too hot. It is hard on people, animals and flowers. The corn and beans are really growing though. My husband says if you listen you can hear the corn grow at night.It crackles.

Heat Wave

We are having a heat wave. It is almost 100 and it is extremely hot. July is a hot month of the year but this has both extremes of cold and heat. First it is hot, then the nights are as cold as fall. It is really rather weird. I don't think the grass knows whether to grow or not but at least it isn't all dried up. It is a pretty green since we had a good rain the other day and probably another tomorrow. I love this time of the year when the grocery store is full of fresh fruit, plums, nectarines, apples, almost any fruit including melons. Love them.
