Hot Weather

We had about 2 days of decent summer weather. The wind finally came in from the NW and brought some drier air with it. It was quite pleasant yesterday. It was also nice this morning. However, now we have had to turn the air conditioning on again. I had the windows open for about 4 hours so got some fresh air into the house. Then the humidity started up again. It has been a really hot summer. I hope that doesn't mean a very cold snowy winter.

Weather, Heat and Humidity

We have had two days of cooler weather and it has been wonderful. The high heat index dropped. The humidity went away and the breezes began to blow after a number of very hot humid days. We threw open the windows and doors and let in all the fresh air. We turned off the air conditioner and gave it a rest. The nights got so cool you needed a blanket and it felt good to have so much cool fresh air in the house. Now the temperatures are rising and so is the humidity and the air conditioner is back on. Well it won't be long and it will be winter so we will enjoy this now. The first day of fall is only about 25 days away. I think Fall is the prettiest and best time of the year in our State.

Heat Wave

We have a terrific heat wave going on right now. Our air conditioner is running full-time and having trouble keeping up. It is set on 78 and is keeping it at 80 now. They say the temperature outside is 90 with a heat index of 104. We are retired and able to stay inside but I sure feel sorry for those who have to work outside in this weather. We are supposed to have a cold wave go through tonight. I use the term "cold" loosely because it will only drop the nighttime temps down to maybe 60 which is still warm. We will probably have a storm but they talk about it going NE of us. I hope so.

Pontiacs

We have a 2002 Pontiac and it is red with a spoiler and has the best looking body and rear lights. I have seen a lot of the newer ones and I don't think they are nearly as nice looking as ours. Ours rides so good too. No matter how far you go, you are always comfortable. It has great air conditioning and we have the CD player going with our favorite music along the way. We are going out tonight and will enjoy a few songs before we reach our destination. It is extremely hot outside so the air conditioning is going to really feel good tonight. They talked about storms but the sky is clear, sun is shining and it is very sunny.

Hot, Muggy Day

Here we are, another hot muggy day that makes the corn grow and we shrink into the cool home, office or car to get away from it. The rain has been coming but probably not enough. So many sections of the country are in bad drought and the wells are beginning to pump sand. Not a good thing. Animals and people are dying of the heat and it is no wonder. The swimming pools are full to capacity and now I hear a lot of them are having problems with contamination of the water. Too many people I guess. They have to use so much chlorine to kill the germs that it just has to burn the kids' eyes. I don't know what the answer is. Every town is building these gigantic swimming pools now. They are really nice though.

What's For Supper?

We have decided to go for TexMex tonight since we missed our regular meal last night. Took the car through the new car wash and it is probably in shock from being washed but it sure does look great. Looks like new and my husband put a coat of polish on parts of it so it looks even better. Doesn't sound like we are going to have any rain for several days just lots of hot humid weather. The central a/c is getting a real workout.
