Hot, hot, hot here

5 years ago

I thought maybe we got past the 90+ days but seems like we are in it for awhile more. Nothing getting done outside but we have visited a couple of garden centers to see the pricing on Crepe Myrtles and a couple other trees. No rain so the garden hose will come out again tonight. No rebloom here on any of the daylilies.

How has it been for everyone? Are you ready for some cooler temps? I am.

Same here, temps are high, but humidity seems worse than any time in the summer. We did get a good rain over the weekend, but will have to bring out the water hose pretty soon. Have weeding to do, but can't bring myself to do

Hot here too and the humidity is through the roof. We have so much to do but can barely stand to be out. We are still seeing a few rebloom scapes. It's been dry for the last couple of weeks, but we are watering.

No surprise for Oklahoma. Our inside weather station says it's 100 outside on the nose. I'm watering, watering, watering every day. I'm going to be out of pocket for awhile with medical procedures and must leave the watering to my DH, who could care less about flowers, but promises to try his best............. I'm hoping for a cool down and rain during my down time. I'm also hoping to be crowned Mrs. America but that probably won't happen either-lol..........Maryl

Ugh, 96 is miserable, 4 more degrees might send it into unbearable or me. But I went outside a few minutes ago, wind picked up cooling it off a bit, cloudy, thunder. Maybe it will rain, although not supposed

It's very hot here too - 96 today and 94 yesterday. It looks like we won't be out of the 90s until at least Monday.

Maryl: What a good laugh you gave me on your Mrs. America comment. Hope your medical procedure issues your dealing with goes smoothly. Take care of yourself.

Well we got a surprise thunderstorm late yesterday afternoon with enough rain that I didn't have to pull out the garden hose. Another hot day today. Maybe another surprise storm wil come as well.

Its been hot and humid here too. We have had a record broken for 90 degree temperature days. We had 5 1/2” of much needed rain Tuesday evening. I did some transplanting the past week in the early evening, too hot to do anything during the day.

Storms going around us so out came the hose yesterday. Lots of thunder but no rain. Weatherman says we should drop into the 70's by mid week. Hope he is right..

Sherry: 5 1/2 inches is a lot of rain but I bet your plants are loving the liquid gold.
