The Heat

After having a gloriously mild May (I wouldn't know because I was gone for almost the whole month) June is, ummmm, well, HOT!! Yes folks the heat is here. It has come in force and I'm sure it plans on staying through September and probably into October. Heck that's only 4 months from now. We can hang in there that long.

The thing is, we know it is going to be hot. We plan on about 6 months of heat. We accept it and learn how to deal with it. But sometimes we just have to complain a little bit about the heat anyway. The other day it got to about 110. That is really hot. To me - once it hits 110 it doesn't matter how much hotter it gets. It is just plain unbearable. But to be out and about at 7:00 or 7:30 at night, with the sun down, and the darkness making a quick march across the valley - you wouldn't think it should be still be 100 degrees still. But it is. There is no relief from the wall of heat that settles down on the valley.

These days we just try to keep things comfortable in the house without going broke - sometimes that is a challenge! We tend to stay inside a lot. We also pray that the Air Conditioning keeps working, that the electricity doesn't fail us, and that the temperatures don't get into the 120's.

That, my friends, is ridiculously hot!
