At 6:15pm CST the thermometer on our back porch, in the shade, is
showing 101F. I reckon that's as hot as I've seen in several years.
We're hiding in the air conditioned house.

Gardens will have to wait to be watered until around 9pm CST when the
sun is actually going down. Birds aren't flying or singing, maybe the
bug eating birds will fly after dark around the retention pond.

finally got a little rain tonight and hoping for
more the next few days. we'll see, but it looks
hopeful.

hot today, yep, again looking to moderate a bit
tomorrow and then even better through next week at
least until Thursday. i really want to get back
out and get some digging done. i've been able to
weed a few hours here or there in the morning and
get some watering done, but that's pretty much it
for the day.

putting up pickles yesterday. that was enough too...
