I know, it's amazing. For the past 6 months, I have been planting all sorts of plants... even now, I am planting like crazy... and this is said to be the worst time to be doing it.

Instead of mowing, I am spending my time watering and looking at weather.com for signs of relief!

Looking at the yearly averages, the temps should be dropping off rapidly in the next week or two... at least get down to the mid to low 80's for highs.

Let's hope it cools down soon. My garden is cooking even though I water it. Hand watering just doesn't get the job done like good raining.

O.K. Fellow Tennesseans You should appreciate this.
Great Balls Of Fire! It's Elvis's 30th Anniversary of his
death, and insane people are passing out all over graceland from the heat. One lady actually died, camped in
a tent. That's Crazy to be that much of a fan.How Hot is it it in Memphis?

It is so hot in Memphis that-
.....the birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
......the trees are whistling for the dogs.
.....the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
.....hot water now comes out of both taps.
.....you can make sun tea instantly.
.....you learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
......the temperature drops below 95 F (35 C) and you feel a little chilly. .....you discover that in August it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.
.....you discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
.....you actually burn your hand opening the car door.
.....you break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
.....your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, 'What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?'
.....you realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
.....the potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter.
.....the cows are giving evaporated milk.
.....farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.

Best to keep a little humor about this heat wave. Most of
my garden is fried even though I have watered every morning.
Some potted Impatiens twice a day. I dream of Fall days to come,of Pansies and Mums, and snapdragons.
