It's going to be around 102 here today and that is way too hot. This is not Phoenix, Arizona, it's coastal Georgia. Where's my sea breeze? The water temperature out at Tybee, our nearest beach, is 90 degrees. I take cold showers and and I don't want to swim in water hotter than my shower.This is the third day this week that the temperature has been at least 100, and except for a light, and I do mean light sprinkle on Wednesday, we haven't had any rain in over 3 weeks.
I feel so sorry for my garden, we water every day, but it's just not the same as a good soaking rain. I've seen my Zinnia's wiping the sweat off and usually they breeze through summer. I'm not eveb enjoying swimming in the pool this summer, I get in, clean it a little, sweat and get out.
My electric bill is due next week and this is an all electric house so I figure we'll have to refinance the national debt, again (I just ransomed my car from our local mechanic), because we've been running the air conditioner and all the ceiling fans night and day.
Mac tells me to stop moaning because last winter I begged for warmer weather and now I've got it. So just goes to show be careful what you wish for.
I have to say "Amen" to your remarks re the heat and humidty. I'm not sure if we've quite tipped the 100 degree mark, but we've not been far behind.
