According to the weather heads we're going to hit 100F late this day. As
it is we've been hitting around 90F or a little higher the last few days.

Looks like we need to get out and water all the plants before the high
heat hits us. Might possibly save some of the more tender plants. We
have been watering routinely every other day and the plants have been
doing okay but the !00 plus just might do some damage.

Our electric bill generally runs around US$51 every month, this months
is $111.00, due to the air conditioning. Without AC we wouldn't survive
at our age. We have ceiling fans in all the rooms excepting the
bathrooms and the kitchen but fans without AC just means the fans just
push the hot air around.

August is upon us and that month is usually our hottest month of the
year. I reckon this one is going to be the hottest in a good while.

Turned the hoses on already so we shall see.


I had to fix a connection hose on my sprinkler system for my front
flower beds a few days ago. After I fixed that and turned on the water
to test it, one of the glued pvc connections popped off. So, back to
the store I go to get some pvc glue, and fixed THAT! So far it's holding.
