Sweltering

It's been HOT


Hellaciously HUMID


The kitties and I have been lying low. As long as we don't do anything and stay in front of a fan it's fine. We were about 90F with a dew point of 79*. You'd think the keyboard would have that little circle for degree. Anyway.......miserable. We did have a storm last night with small hail and about two inches of rain. We needed it. Neighbor Bill brought me zucchini, including a larger one as he knows I like to stuff them. I stopped growing peppers years ago and omitted zucchini this year because Bill gives me more than I need, along with green beans. We call them Bill's Beans. He's our one friend in the area and we do value him.

That's the news of the day, folks. Stay cool. In both meanings of the word.

We've left that broiling zone for now, and it's so much better. For now.

On your keyboard hold down alt and on the number pad type in 0176 that gives you the degree circle so 79°

Stay cool! I always have indoor projects, like studying Spanish, doing some drawing, etc. for when I hibernate from the heat. It helps a lot.

It is mildly better today but I'm going to let yard work go until next week. We are supposed to get a LOT of rain in the next few days.
Stay cool and be like a cat...

Hot and humid here until Thursday. 😔
I should post on fining symbols like ° or ₵ or ©. No keystrokes needed.

Bill's beans. That's a hoot.

Enjoy the reprieve, Boud.

Thank you so much, Jane.

Sandra said...

I have plenty to do, Cheerful, just not the will to do them!

Sandra said...

Thanks for the laugh. Far Side!

Sandra said...

It's still sniffling, Val. I've given up on my gardens.

Sandra said...

That would be welcomed by me, AC!

Since we choose to live in Florida, we just plan on it being sweltering. This week has been pretty bad, but I've made headway on two quilts!
