96 Degrees

July 11th, 2007 at 09:12 pm

Wasn't there a boy band called that about ten years ago or so? That's how hot it is right now. 96 degrees, and today there is no wind at all. The only way the kids are allowed to play outside is if they stay under the trees, at least until the sun moves to the other side of them and then the horseshoe will be in the shade and they can play there.

I think they are nuts. The house is still plenty cool enough to be mostly comfortable. But it was not cold this morning despite running the fans in all the windows all night. It was just cool.

I hope this heat wave breaks soon. It's tempting me to buy a single room air conditioner or something. I've always said I'd never need an AC in the house since we only have 2 hot months. But after last summer and now this, I'm sorely tempted.

    Actually, it was 98 degrees... I'm almost ashamed to know that! But it is still very hot... make sure those little ones get plenty to drink.

    I hadn't been here at moms when it was hot last summer, so yesterday caught me by surprise. Very hot here, even tho she is on the water. Today, I was up at dawn and had the windows, shades and doors all adjusted for the sun. I think it's at least 10 degrees cooler today. So much better!
    I'm hoping we don't get more than a few days of weather like this, it just does me in. Knitting even seems to take too much energy when it is over 90!

    Take care & stay cool

    Sue, I mostly knit with chenille so I wouldn't dream of knitting in this weather. It's too heavy a yarn to have in my lap.

    I hear you. Our house is 86 right now, but we do have a window unit in the bedroom, so that is our sanctuary. It looks like it will break by Sunday and let's hope so.

    At its worst it got up to 105. I can't handle that well.
