It was 92 in Auburn yesterday at 5:00pm. And of course I had to be in all black for our performance up in Kirkland.
I thought I would gak out from heat stroke by the time we got to our final number. Nursing homes are always kept a little warm, and I was about to go down for the count.
(Note to flutes: If I keel over, don’t worry about me. Catch my oboe.)
We’ve got the Global Warming chills, here.
Us too.
They are calling for 51 as a high on Wed.
Burrrrrr.
Ugh.
I’m worried that we are going to have a cool summer.
May it please be hot?
Thank you.
My plants are all looking pained. We should not be having lows in the 40’s and highs in the 60’s this time of year. Tomatoes don’t like that!
I hate when you can’t dress appropriately for the surroundings. I’m glad you’re OK! (As well as your oboe...one of my very favorite sounds!)
YOIKS!
Tell Al Gore his Plan A is backfiring. He’d better have a darn good excuse for the cold weather!
I actually made it to church today, and the roof did NOT fall in, as predicted!
Even though it’s supposed to be 103 here, I had on a linen shirt, matching cotton skirt, and a thermal top under the shirt!! It’s a lightweight thermal, but it was needed!
I came out of church into the heat and just stood there and soaked it up before I got into my truck.
We usually plant on May 24th long weekend, but it came early this year, and it's still cold. Possible frost at night.
My onions, lettuce, and garlic are in, but I'm worried about planting the tomatoes and peppers yet.
Here is my garden so far this year.........
You must be cold blooded.
;-D
Your garden looks like Spring is on the way!
Yes, I’m “cold-blooded.” My core temp is 96.7, so when I get to everyone’s normal of 98.6, I’m running a fever. I get chilled very easily, and literally have to sit in the sun to warm up.
CFIDS, dontchaknow.
*HUG* my hot footed Sis.
Here is a picture of the garden in March.
Watch the copper sprinkler to see the difference.
At least winter is over. For now.
Holy snowdrift, Bat Woman!
Of course, when we lived in Alaska, our brothers made tunnels in the snow. When they were in school we would play in them. Until mom caught on...
It was a relatively normal winter compared to the 70’s, but I still didn’t like it.
We’re too old for this...
Exactly why I live in the sunbelt!
I understand.
Have a great evening, Sis.
*HUG*
You, too!
*HUG-HUG*
Pretty! You have nice tulips. Ours were done a long time ago. I only had three come up this year. The climate is not really right for them here. Some people replant every year. A few daffodils came up, but they got frozen.
The native flowering vines - wisteria, Carolina jasmine, and some other thing that I forget what it is - are looking good this year. The jasmine bloomed first (yellow), then the wisteria (purple), and the Whatever hasn’t bloomed yet. Most of the roses are doing well, but the lugustrum are swallowing some of them. If Der Prinz doesn’t butcher the lugustrum soon, I’ll do it.
We have tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant in the ground. They’re all holding on, but it’s been too cold for them to really get going. Sunflowers are doing good, some annual and perennial flowers, but I have only one canteloupe sprout from 30 seeds. (One seems to have died.) The farmer up the road has a great-looking melon patch! I need to find some plants to put in, I guess. Herbs are doing good, especially parsley and oregano. The cilantro still looks weakly. I moved it to a spot with more sun today.
I think the first crops here are ready to harvest and in another month, the second will be going in.
Of course, flowers and flowering shrubs and trees are rampant, and folks with allergies are cursing the weatherman for the wind.
I hope your plantings do better. (Darn AlGore. He needs his thermostat tweaked.)
