Today's Weather in Your Garden - 73

This is oppressive - going to be close to 98 degrees here today - with high humidity. YIKES!

90° at the moment. Went out at 8 am & got an hours' worth of weeding done in an iris seedling bed. One batch of pasture grass was too stuck to move so DH worked on that one latter. I think that early weeding might be the routine for awhile although he tells me about early graocery shopping tomorrow. that means that I will have to retreat to the room with a/c & probably will later today. No phone in that room so will have to have the mobile one as a pal. Yes we have a cell phone but it is for calling out--no one has the number.

The sun finally has a couple of spots!

It's 99 in my garage. I just placed a thermometer on a chair in full sun on the patio. I'm guessing it will be around 120.

The highest temps I ever experienced were at work. Before we upgraded to better ventilation for the generator room, I would have to go out and check them periodically. In one corner where the heat got trapped, the temp would be in the upper 130's. Felt like my eyes were about to melt.

Only 78 here and 64%

Sarge

Looks like it topped out at 139.8 on the patio. Ouch.

Its almost a hundred here. Most plants are in dismay except pepper.

Cannot stand it this hot....trapped in the a/c. Went to cousin's for picnic, they had many umbrellas set up on the deck, but still too hot....spent a lot of time in the house watching the kids who were watching cartoons.

Good shot of Guy Noir, Marilyn! I think he is rebelling about the sleigh bells here and headed for you instead! LOL

Geez, Victor, is it really THAT hot on your patio????????

Bill - are you still in the car commuting in a/c or are you home cooling off by lifting a few boulders over your head???? Where oh Where is Bill?????

We're getting a pool!!! We're getting a pool!!!! Hubby finally caved in!!!!

WOW, Jen!!! Glad this heat wave did some good for SOMEBODY!!!! How exciting!!!! Cave is Good!! LOL

God help you! ^_^

Above ground?

Fireworks clem....fitting, huh? :)

Pretty colors

nice Jen... next swap is at your house!!!

Pool - the darn thing is too cold. There is no way I can get into it! Today almost 100 degress and Jim touches me and and I am cool. He said holy ``````

I like a pool to be almost stop my heart cold

Spent the afternoon in room with the a/c. Since it was day after the 4th watched horse races on TV. We have the channel for it. No I don't bet, just like horses.

Yep above ground....so excited!!!! Hopefully by next week I'll be floating in it.

that is great news Jen... enjoy it!!

74 now going to 98 ... heat index 100 - 105... oh joy

Are you setting the pool up or someone else? We had a truck load of sand delivered. Then you have to pick out all the tiny weeny stones in it. Sand and no stones ensures your liner wont get punctured.

Hi again from KY - my condolences for your having to endure Ohio River valley summer weather for so long. A taste is good - but every day?

Valley conditions:

68°F now
94°F high today
70°F low tonight (my tomatoes are cheering)

No rain in the forecast till Friday. This is Root Beer Float season!

Here's a couple for irisMA - come to KY for a break (!) from the heat, and you won't have to watch TV...

And another, through the conifers...

Finally, one to inspire Jen's decision...with room for 200+ of your closest viburnum friends!

I can't believe it will stay cooler in KY. Lovely horses. ☺

85°, wind N 8mph, Rh 50%, sunny
