  • HOT!

    100 yesterday and it will go over 100 today…and tomorrow!

    I was never tolerant of heat and any day over 80 is too hot for me….When the hot days come in a row – I am not a happy camper. I know “older” people are more prone to problems with heat – so if I am already intolerant of heat- what on earth will happen when I am “old?” [snark snark]

    Anyway – this afternoon I dealt with it by doing my best Michael Phelps imitation and am sitting around in a wet bathing suit ready to go back in. One aspect of living here that I am still getting used to is that the hottest part of the day is from 3- 6 PM – [and not 12- 3 PM] So until 6 or 7 wet bathing suit it is!

    Another thing is that although the river seems calm, when trying to swim upstream – it was obvious there was a strong current…

    Here’s the “big pool” – the open, current laden,
    part of my “backyard”

    And here is my “lap pool” – the space between mine and my neighbor’s house where the current is reduced.

  • It’s hot out there!

    Well – we finally got a real week of summer – 80’s and 90’s and lots of sunshine…but it’s mid September….oh well…

    Dog has taken to the shade under my hammock – a good idea – he gets a breeze and double shade [hammock and upper deck.]

    Meanwhile the cat has taken over the dog’s usual outdoor bed by the front gate.
