Hot weather!!!!

 

Hot weather, really hot weather with plenty of humidity!   So this morning i went out early to chop weeds and watch the clouds, it's humid, really humid, but there is a stout breeze.  I did accomplish much of my chore when i felt that all too familiar warning that if i kept chopping weeds, i would shortly have a big angry blister or two on my hands and that would a "bad thing".  A major hindrance for the next few days. hot and humid as it is, heat warnings everywhere, but not a mention of rain for a couple of days and that is a "good thing".

Now  settling down to a few moments of cloud watching, and contemplation and hoping that if I put a pair of gloves on, which i should have done.......... before i started i would be able to finish the job  Also found my favorite mallet it's just perfect for driving in tomato stake , while looking for my gloves. Staking tomatoes is  tomorrows chore.   But mostly i watched the sky, and the clouds,and wonder why had i put the window fans in ALL of the windows last night . Soak in the beauty of cloudy sky's ballet.

 Why did in put in those window fans i did wonder, well we didn't need them and they actually cooled the rooms down toooo much.  Got a few complaints😁 but won't get a one tomorrow morning, would bet on it. 

 

  

 

 

I seems everyone at my house is craving double chocolate brownies....and if it didn't include me, they would never have 

had any and before you ask. i used a " mix."

It was cooler inside than outside, that was one good thing, and Another good thing is that the clouds are getting thicker and darker.  Will it rain???

UHHHH that wasn't the photo I wanted, but wild turkeys in a snowstorm....could change the subject.  Or not.

tonight for sure my family will appreciate the window fans.

And it hasn't rained!  I must be going mad from the heat, hoping it would rain. 

I hope!

I am sure it will.

Being the second day of the heat advisory, i got up earlier than usual and planted all of my tomato stakes.  These determined little plants are already blooming, about a week early.  We look forward to fresh tomatoes, and seldom buy grocery store tomatoes.  In an earlier post i mentioned Long keeper tomatoes which really will keep well into the winter.  Unfortunately a hungry critter, and it must have been very hungry one, nibbled the plants down to stems and not much more.  haven't pulled them up, 'cause i am still hopeful. 

Day 3, seems a bit cooler, may-be it is a bit cooler, because the actual numbers are lower...or it could be i,m getting used to it?

Nah!! not getting used to heat this fast.

SCIENCE!!!! yah gotta love it!!! 

 

the final day of the  "heat advisory"
YYYYIIIPPPPYYY SKIPPY

In facy the advisory was dropped last evening, so why does it seem even hotter today??? that sounds like a science question to me, but one i know from experience , and it is the same as what makes wood and or coal heating feel so much warmer than natural  gas or electric...is that while natural gas and electric heat the air quickly   Wood and coal, like the sun heat the structure, much slower, but longer lasting.  The structure then retains the heat, and that is why the house is so warm, even with the fans going. 

So that is the old wives tale i tell everyone. 

Today the ice cream melted quicker,

but it still tasted good.  

Ice cream makes everything better.
