When I got dressed yesterday morning, I found myself picking up my earrings then putting them back, thinking, Nah, it's too hot for earrings today.
And it was -- though nothing near as bad as folks in other parts of the country are enduring.
We don't have air conditioning but make full use of fans in every room. We keep the south and east facing windows shut till the afternoon, and anything outside gets done early. As does most cooking.
We had a nice rain around supper time that cooled things off -- always a blessing. But the weekend is supposed to be even hotter. Dangerously hot in places. A good time to stay inside, stay hydrated, check on pets and neighbors, and think, perhaps, about the snows of yesteryear.
