donna- I know what you mean. Living where I do now (Columbus) it's hot and humid all summer. We don't seem to get a break.
Not so in upstate NY, although my cousin said it seems to be a lot hotter than when we were kids.
I miss apples more than anything ! (except my brothers haha). New York State apples are beyond wonderful. My Mom used to go to the apple orchards all the time and probably spent thousands in her lifetime on those wonderful fruits! I go to orchards here but the apples are nowhere near as good.
