Our high today is supposed to be 104 and that’s not the heat index . . that’s the real temp. That’s pretty hot for us. It was hot yesterday and it will be that hot again tomorrow. My tomatoes have been doing so good . . I hope they can survive this without too much damage.
Last night I looked at the weather in Brownwood, TX (where we lived before and where I was always complaining about the heat). I thought to myself . . if it’s hotter here than it is in Brownwood, that’s going to be really weird.
At 1 a.m. it was 84 here and 86 in Brownwood. Their high also is supposed to be 104 today so I can’t complain that it’s hotter here than there. Not that complaining would do me much good.
We’re staying in the house as much as we can. I’m going to either open a jar of canned red beans and sausage, make a pot of rice and a salad or I’ll fix BLTs. The giant tomato is ripe and I’m so anxious to cut into it.
I hope these temps aren’t any indication of what July and August are going to be like but . . those are always hot months. I really dislike summer heat.

…. not enjoying the temps here either! And don’t have any tomatoes to help make me happy.

It is/was supposed to be 104 here too. I think it only got to about 98 today (which is bad enough), so we will see what tomorrow brings. We desperately need rain! I keep hoping we get some soon. Maybe I need to wash my car—that usually makes it rain! LOL

Well, get out there and wash your car! We desperately need rain too. It’s so hard keeping the garden alive. I moved some of the tomatoes in smaller containers to the shade today to try to keep them alive.

I shouldn’t complain when our temperature was only 80, but hubby and I were up on the roof playing with the black plastic to keep the rain out, and that black plastic burned!! We’re supposed to get some rain tomorrow, so hopefully it will stay outside for a change! 🙂 While we haven’t been as hot as you, we’re dealing with the bad, smoky air from the Canada wild fires. Clear down here in SW Pennsylvania, you can actually smell the smoke….it’s just insane!!

That smoke has to be horrible. I hope it ends soon. It hasn’t made it to MO and I doubt it does. It was right at 100 here today but tomorrow is supposed to be cooler. One day in the next week, our high is supposed to be 79. You can bet I’ll be outside all day that day.

Hi Judy, where do you live? I’m in Sacramento, Ca, and the heat here is intolerable!!! I HATE summer!!

I’m in Missouri. Summer is not my favorite season and except for my garden, I’d just stay inside all summer if I could.
