Holy crap. I'm trying to get 1,000 lbs. of fertilizer down today, and there's not a breath of wind. Thermometer only says 91, but it feels a damn sight hotter than that.
I'd hop in the pool, but there's only so wet one can get, and I think I'm there.

Up here in the trees, I enjoy the spans of time -- between spring and summer and between fall and winter -- when I don't have to run the furnace nor the A/C. With last week's chilly weather, I figured I'd be able to hold out 'til the end of the month before turning on the A/C. After working outdoors for a while yesterday, and then wrestling with a kitchen project, I caved last night and turned it on.
Summertime, here we go!
God bless America.

It's been upper 90s to over 100 for what seems like this entire month over here. Before that, spring has been pretty pleasant. And then, *BOOM*, someone turned the oven on.

We haven’t hit 100 yet here in my part of East Texas but looks like we will this week. It’s that mid 80s morning with 1000% humidity that gets me when I open the garage door.

Thanks Edmond. Tractor makes it manageable. I'll do nearly 4k lbs. before I'm done.

We've been getting up over a hundred the last week or so. Supposed to start getting up over 110 next week. I'd rather 115 degrees here to 95 degrees in Florida.

103, according to my temp gauge in my car driving to get some fried pies. And according to the weather reports, the same for the rest of the week. Looks like beer and pool time.

Been wet and pretty cool here in S.C. for the last week, at least cooler than normal. I was actually able to work in my churches attic yesterday for an hour or two... but I know it is coming and I'm fixing to try and stay inside most of the Summer at least starting mid day and through the afternoon.
Supposed to be 110F today, and 112F tomorrow. Then a cool down to 108-109. Humidity today is 6%......I am still using my evap cooler. Once the rains come, that will be the end of it, and on to the A/C.

95 here. Weather app says “feels like 102” and it does. The start of 100 degrees every day is tomorrow about 3pm. It doesn’t even cool off at night. Midnight it’ll still be 88. 3 months of this is hell.
