still July

     The heat has continued unabashed.  When i walked dogs at 2a.m., the air was almost like a semisolid wall.   More comfortable overnight, if you could call temps in the high 80's and high humidity comfortable.  Dogs seem happy to go for a walk and then come back in.  Only the cat seems interested in spending some time outside.

We all have been staying inside and the air is set at 80 degrees. makes it very comfortable for people and pets.  Hubby still home with a virus.  every time i move to another room he follows and complains.    Me just doing what needs to be done.   Nice to relax and be lazy.  when it cools down, it will be time to get back outside and garden, mow, weed....all the fun stuff.  For now, reading, napping and watching Le  Tour.

I watered the hanging baskets and plants in the back yard this morning. What a sweaty business for the 40 minutes i was out there.. and in the shade too!  I will probably have to water again this evening.   High temps for today.... over 100  degrees.

The new garden is holding it's own. i think most of the plants (native to this area) do well in dry soil/weather and that is a definite  bonus.   Still... i try to water over there at least every other day.


High summer, High heat.
