Well we survived the face-melting heat wave. Today and yesterday brought a little relief with low 90s. We did get a nice soaking the night before last. I am happy for the farmers, the corn is looking pretty sad around here.
Well my part of the state was put into time-out on Tuesday. No alcohol sales after 10 p.m. and no gatherings of more than 50 people because our region's numbers have ticked up. Oh well, I guess it could have been worse.
DH planned a trip for us to go river tubing on Saturday. I am a bit surprised at his spontaneity but it will be fun to do something other than housework or yardwork. It is about 2.5 hours away and a 4 hour tubing trip. A long day but it sounds fun. We did a shorter tubing trip a few years ago and had a lot of fun so I am looking forward to this one.
Leftover pizza from Pizza Hut (YUCK!) for lunch. No idea what is for dinner. I really need to start planning meals better
You win the hottest temperature of the day cam!!!!!!
Around 4p.m. my weather station had a heat index of 118. The actual temp got to 102. A scorcher for sure.
Today did not start well for us, actually it started last night. I don't think I posted before but we have ongoing issues with our neighbors, who are renters. Today started with a call to the police about them shining a laser into our security cameras several times during the night when we saw it on the footage today. sigh..... They are truly awful people and were blasting their music again yesterday and two people called the police on them. I know because the police told me today. We did not call as we were leaving the house with the dogs, but they must've assumed it was us and decided to mess with our cameras. There's no damage, and we have enough evidence for a civil case, plus the city is fining the landlord for violations, and the police have cited them with a $500 fine. Ugh! I'm just praying they move. The police are now patrolling on my street several times per day and night.
Uggh! How awful! Hopefully they will move on soon.
Oh wow! Where are you again? I'm so bad with remember where everyone is from.
I am in SE Virginia, Western Tidewater/Hampton Roads area.
Oh boy. Sorry to hear that. Stay safe!
Thanks! We are trying our best to stay clear of it.
Hey Cam, enjoying that steamy hot temps too. Stay cool. Yeah, the temps are going to be as high tomorrow, but rain may make an appearance late in the day, small chance severe thunderstorms. Eh, garden variety kind, is fine with me. But forecast says no relief from the heat until Friday, when 89 is the predicted high. And to think, August is usually our dog days of summer. When egg frying temps become the every day, with a nice loud thunderstorm that will give rain on one side of the street and not the other. Loving this hot summer weather.
Oh, I can only imagine what August will be like. I usually don't mind the heat but my poor ac has been working nonstop and is barely keeping up so I have to keep the house like a tomb. My DS said he is going to develop night vision from keeping all the shades closed and lights off. Lol!
am almost afraid of what he will announce tomorrow. On the one hand I think people need to take this more seriously, but on the other hand, I do not want to go back to where we were.
Yes, I guess it could have been worse. None of it really impacts us because we are staying in for the most part and don't hang out in bars. I guess it is more or less to limit the younger people from spreading it.
This guy is hilarious if you know anyone from the midwest you will understand completely.
He is funny! His friend/brother-in-law (??) is pretty funny too. I think his page is ohyoubetcha.com
Some of you may remember when my friend passed away, a year later a rose appeared in a large tree at the bottom of our property where we sometimes went down to as the fruit trees are mostly there, she used to take most of our fruit along with the farmer next to us......as far as our gardener knew there was nothing planted there with roses.......
This single rose was around 25 feet in the air....
How beautiful. A lovely hello from your friend.
Who would have thought there would be a garden furniture shortage!!! We decided we`d like to replace the set in the gazebo just for a change, so we thought we`d spend the afternoon going round a few places......
Same here! I have been looking for a patio umbrella for weeks but have had no luck. I guess the supply chain never caught up and now the retailers are just putting what little they have of summer items on clearance and moving to the fall merchandise.
it lasted two years as it happens!!!! So, as we have loads of eggs from farm next to us....scrambled egg whites for me with bacon tomorrow.......
well, it is Thursday.........
