It is hot. How hot?
Our "feels like" yesterday was 109 degrees. We have all sorts of heat warnings and alerts telling people to stay indoors.
...it is a little out of control in places, ha. I thought about mowing this weekend but I went outside to water and it's just insanely hot and humid. I was SOAKED with sweat from being outside for an hour, and had to come in and take a shower. I was going to work in the garage clearing some more boxes, but again, just 30 minutes out there is too much.
In a neighborhood, we might have to worry about the HOA sending us a nasty letter about mowing our grass but hey, out here, no one cares, we're the only ones who will see it, ha.
We asked "J" (from 2nd Family) if she had mowed yet (we've been commiserating about the weather) and she said she did a couple of things on the porch the other day and the heat made her feel horrible for hours.
Then she said "my yard is not worth dying for".
Wise words... 🤣
It has been hot here in central Florida, my lawn went three weeks without mowing. The man that does it finally came between rains and had to go over it three times it was so high and heavy. We needed the rain so that was good, I am in a farming area, so an overgrown lawn is not problem if the farmers crops get the much-needed rain.
ReplyDeleteit is now 62 degrees here going up to the mid 70s this afternoon with high cloud. We are lucky. Roderick
ReplyDeleteVery wise of J in 2nd Family "my yard is not worth dying for". That is sooo true. This heat can kill you. I don't go outside until 7:00 p.m. to pick my garden and just be outside for a while.
ReplyDeleteHot here as well. Heat index today: 115°...when the temp was 95°. We may have a bit more humidity than you guys. But.. regardless, it's hardly bearable. I do a few things, and retreat inside.
ReplyDeleteFriday night, we had huge storms with house rattling thunder, incredible lightening, and torrential rain amounting to 5" by morning.
ReplyDeleteToday our high is 83*F but it's horribly humid. We're outside Richmond, VA to the southwest.
Hugs!
We're having intense heat, even hotter than usual here in the Desert... and fierce Storms, had 84 mph Wind and part of our Shingles of the RV Garage flew off so we had to file our first Homeowners Insurance Claim ever, what an Ordeal! Huge Trees blew over and some Residential Properties lost their Roofs tho' so we were fortunate. It's been 116-118 most days and humid due to Monsoon Season... so, we too let our Pasture just kind of grow out of control so it wouldn't scorch if we cut it. Half the States around us are on Fire, so I don't mind that we're getting lots of Rain so that we don't go Scorched Earth too.
