I am so thankful for AC, but our basement is much cooler and we can go down there if we need to. We keep the temp set higher so it doesn't run the unit as much. I do any watering before 9:00 AM and get inside and stay inside!! I am very ready for cooler temps and praying for some rain. Our field corn looks like short little sweet corn that is tasseling! We love ice tea and drink it with ICE. I keep hearing thunder, unless it is fireworks going off illegally. We are able to water and have kept the garden growing. Ripening tomatoes are on the vines!
