Yeah, I hear you.
Our church is not air conditioned as normally, we’d only need it 1 -2 times per summer. But this one has been brutal.
On the bright side, ticks need moisture to survive and having two hot very dry summers in a row SHOULD theoretically, help knock the tick population down.
EYEW!
I HATE Ticks!
...As opposed to us, until about 2 weeks ago, having a very wet summer -- and we just got ~0.7" in the wee hours this a.m. We needed it though and the good news is I won't have to water the garden today. There's a good chance of rain tomorrow, with Paducah NWS saying projected POPS for the region are likely underdone. We pay for it with ridiculous humidity...
As I sometimes say to my wife, "It's Cebu-like!"
Often followed by: "I'll crank up the AC!" ($$$$)
I may have to re-spray the weeds along (and recently more than beginning to lean in to) the trail into the woods, as I'd "hit" them w/ 2-4D yesterday evening, just B4 I left.
The other bad news is, I was out of town, so, no rainwater got collected.* And, I came back to the cat's dry food bowls full of water, and 2 noisily complaining cats! The chickens are happy now, though - they got the soggy cat food.
*Now that I know how much better rainwater is, than our hard well water, for some of my gardening activities, I really need to add to and modify my rainwater collection setup so it's a covered (to keep leaves out) "passive" collection setup.
