Right! :grumble

We built our house 4 years ago and grass wasn't in the budget until year 2. What was in the budget for year 1 were 3 stations of sprinklers around the house for that very purpose!

I gave up watering the foundation, live on top of a hill and the water just runs into the cracks never to be seen again....

You know it's hot when...

When you wake up on a saturday, see the fence and backward are wet from rain, and stand at the door stupefied for a minute wondering if you're dreaming.

When you eat ghost chiles while mowing the lawn to cool off.

I know, huh? I got to church this morning at about 7:45, and it was about 78ยบ and breezy. I actually entered the church with a little bounce in my step. I hadn't felt that in a while. It was great.

When I dont get a day off from May 1st to now (In the a/c business) Yesterday is the first time since the end of April that I didnt have to work. Maybe the trend will last for a few weeks before heating season starts

The 100th post occurs on a day when it did not reach 100 degrees.

A beautiful day here in the capital city.

Somewhat ironic that the temps finally break and the midsection of the state pretty much bursts into flames!

My grandson (4 years old) and I were dove hunting yesterday morning. I looked over at him and he had his arms pulled inside his T-shirt. I laughed, he said "Gwandpa, I'm fweezing!" He has a little trouble with his "R's"!

It was sure nice after sweating to death on opening day on Thursday!
