Hey there, radu!
Not quite there due to the early-morning wake-up again this morning, but I should be back to almost 100% by tomorrow. It takes me longer to recuperate from long drives any more. LOL! What a shock.
How was your day? BTW, did you get ol’ Betsy sorted?
Hey there, Kathy.
Yes, it was another scorcher most of the day. It was 96 and very steamy when I woke up this afternoon but soon afterwards, we had a brief heavy shower. That dropped the temp to 85 for a short time, then the sun came back out. UGH! It’s still a steamy 82 outside now.
And there’s no relief in the 10-day forecast.
Shame on Momma#2 for grabbing that baby! Poor lil duckling. Bet the fight between mommas was a sight.
It’s a safe bet the momma was able to gather her four together and all’s well.
Good evening, luvie...hope you got some really good rest after your long day yesterday.
James Elliott Williams was a true hero!
Did your brief heavy shower give the corn a better chance of managing the next 10 days without bad damage?
Yeah, that early morning wake-up had to hurt but you get to sleep late tomorrow!
Another toasty day here - - the hottest this week - - so it was another day spent inside. We had a brief rain shower this afternoon that cooled things off but the sun came back out and it was awful outside. The humidity’s not letting it cool off very well.
I haven’t heard anything about ol’ Betsy yet. I drove past the place last evening when I made the store run and didn’t see her in the parking lot, where I left her, so they have her inside to check her out at least. Maybe I’ll hear something tomorrow.
Hi, Kathy! I did get a nice nap, but I figure I’ll feel a whole lot better by tomorrow. Just takes a while to bounce back.
He sure was a true hero! We have so many....and so little time!
I am soooo looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow! If Peaches will let me. LOL! He’s just so scared that when we leave the house, we’re not coming back. And he’s told me all about it. 😻
Man! What a shame that little refreshing shower would turn into humidity from hell. I don’t blame you for staying in. Has it cooled off any yet? Still 87 here and too darn breezy for my taste.
There wasn’t quite a tenth of an inch so it wasn’t enough to do much good. There was a big batch of rain coming up from the SE that was aimed right for us but it had to come through the mountains to get here. It’s falling apart now so no more rain.
The corn needs some rain. It’s stressing already. Leaves are standing straight up rather than flopped down. They do that to gather any bit of moisture they can get.
Maybe we’ll get more showers this week since there are slight chances a few days.
Poor Peaches. He doesn’t like being “abandoned”. No one to snuggle with at night. LOL Maybe he’ll be calmer tonight and let you sleep better.
Typical summer weather, and it isn’t summer yet. Get a brief shower and the sun comes right back out to turn the area into a sauna. And we still have at least 10 more days of the same. We need some sort of weather system strong enough to move through to shove the high off the coast to give us a break.
It isn’t much cooler here - 82 - and there’s no breeze for relief.

Check the many interesting comments below the video.
Gad, I think you’re actually having a worse time of it than we are this week. The heat plus the humidy=HELL Week. I feel for you.
We’re supposed to cool down about midweek, so maybe that system will move your way and give you a break.
It’s certainly no fun over here. Really bad for the farmers. The fields were looking so beautiful after all the rain we got last month and now the spigot has been turned off along with this heat.
I guess whatever system is going to move in down there to cool you off isn’t strong enough to push over here. There’s no relief in sight for 10 days unless a miracle happens. We have a couple of days of low 90s and the rest are mid to upper 90s.
Enjoy your break when you get it. We have to wait a little longer.
Yesterday at Comanche Lake:
How's everyone doing this morning?
Anything I can get that’s below 93 is a bonus for me. LOL! But then, I talk to someone who lives in AZ, and their temps are already waaaay over 100. I could NOT live there. No way.
I hope something scoots over your way earlier than 10 days. I had seen the radar forecasts showing that heat dome, but who knew it would be so widespread.
Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
Did you and Gizmo have to share the lake with a lo of other folks yesterday? Looks like it was perfect for heading out for some picnics, boating, and swimming.
Good Monday morning to you, E...((HUGS))...beautiful sky for you and Gizmo yesterday at Comanche Lake. And Gizmo found plenty of fun stuff to do...
You boys have a good Monday adventure.
What I find crazy is that while so many of us are roasting, a large chunk of NV and a portion of OR are under a frost or freeze warning.
I’d love for something to shove this high out sooner but I’m not banking on it.
The forecasters knew it would be so widespread. LOL They talked about it for days before it settled in.
Since you pay little attention to FReepmail, you have one. :-)
There was a family hanging out in the shaded area by the gate dock but other than that and some campers in the campground it was just me and Gizmo. :-D
Sounds like good luck for you and Gizmo. Makes for a more relaxing outing.
