By August you will notice it.

I am over 108 degrees.


At 10:30 it is getting hot.

I stay up all night and get out early.

By 10:30 I am done with my chores...

I also have a good headlamp.

I hate summer.

The sun will seem to stand still for a few days. It is the high tide of the Solar year. Then we begin the long fall back to shorter days and the blessings of cooler temperatures. I live in a part of the country that has had an unusually wet and cool spring. I am loving it! Not looking forward to the coming heat. The local weather service is forecasting a possible first 90 degree day later in the week. Ugh! I hate summer too, Texaswitchy. After the wonderful mild weather that we have had, 90 degrees will be a nasty shock. Looking forward to Fall Equinox and then to Samhain.

I am thankful for AC.

We have more then enough solar and wind turbines.

We have a small house and small cabins.

Today was really hot.

The chickens disappeared under the house early.

At night it is much better.
