Default so hot here in ohio!

it is so hot here in ohio (that and I think I may be having the power surges that come with age!) I am thinking tonight I am going to make some sweet tea, crank the air conditioning, put on some christmas movies in the dvd, and cut out squares for a rag quilt. I am hoping by looking at the snow it will cool me off and by cutting some squares i can make a dent in the cluttered girl cave!

It was hot here again today in New York State too. I am ready for FALL which is my favorite season.

It feels like August instead of July weather here also. My garden is dry and even a few leaves are dropping off the trees early. I am watering but a nice soaking rain would be welcome. Yesterday was the 110 anniversary of the air conditioner invention and I say"well done" to the inventor. I don't think I could have made it through this heat wave without it.

It has been relentless here , I feel like I am in the land of brown ( lawn trees ..everything ) and crispy ! Desperate for rain ... all we got was bit of thunder today.. not a drop of rain.

Bring on the snow!
At least being near Lake Erie, it is "slightly" cooler.

Summers here is WI used to be nice... the grass was green all summer long & you only had to run the A/C from time to time. You certainly could open your windows at night. This year? Ha! Even our weeds are wilted! It's awful! It did rain a little dab tonight but not enough to do any good.. just enough to make it more humid. I know I'll be singing a different song come January, but still...

I don't even want to see my electric bill this month! Yikes!

It was 86 degrees here in southeastern VA when DH got home at 11:30 Wednesday night. It had dropped a whole 10 degrees from the afternoon high of 96. It is also so humid you need gills to breathe outside!
