It did not rain yesterday for a change, but the water drains down the hill into my bog bed, so even if it does not rain for several days the entire area, not just this one bed will continue to get wetter. Rain in is the forecast for the next few days still.

We had a nice steady rain very very early this morning which watered the garden nicely. Now it is bright, breezy and sunny out. Simply a lovely, lovely day.

You won't trade even a little bit, Ginny ?? Crying

It is 107 F with a humidity of only 11% but the dew is up to 41 which shows it is more moist. I worked outside this morning till it was unbearable but got some stuff done. So frustrating to be trapped inside because of this heat. Thumbs down

Woke to 67, cloudy, humid and showers Thumbs down I headed out the door early to get the shopping and errands done and by the time I got home it was starting to clear. A nice breeze picked up this afternoon which blew away all the humidity, 76 now with much drier air. Thumbs up

Making that last payment sounds good when you say it, I'm just not sure I know how it feels yet. In the next few months I know I'll have several moments of panic thinking I forgot to send the payment in... before I remember that I don't need to send them anymore. D'Oh!

They are calling for a high of 101F. The electric company trucks are across the street so I hope the power doesn't go out again.

Oh gosh Kelli I sure hope you have no power issues. That is a big fear of mine. Tucson has had several small outages on some of our hottest days already. Thankfully not us. Crying

Ended yesterday at 113 F. So far today it is 108 F.

Scattered showers between 10 am and 1 pm. Partly sunny. W wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

It is downright chilly for the end of June!!

Ginny,
Beautiful reds! Love the name Pokerface!

Out to DD's this week to do chores. They're in Missouri at Mark Twain Landing. It's a water park with cabins. It is probably cold down there too. I hope it gets warmer so the kids can get wet.

after 2 weeks of a withering 77 - 87F
(don't laugh! For us that is HOT! Whistling : no airco at home, nor at the office or in my car, or in the shops (except the isle with frozen goods))

we're back to our usual weather in The Netherlands: sunny, some clouds, temps around 65-67F and regular rainshowers Big Grin

Although I must admit that the Daylilies soaked up all the heat and are thriving, it's not for me..
I didn't want to get dressed for work or get into my car for fear of melting... Thumbs down

Supposedly L.A. has so much electricity that they (meaning me) are paying Arizona to take it. This city is run by idiots.


It was 109F yesterday and they are calling for a high of 101F today. They were calling for a 101F yesterday, too. Let's have a great big 'Yuck!'
