Don't go out and rake when it's 101 in the shade!

Well, I won't go out and work in the yard for now, but, I already had my sunblock on and my flip-flops. I was all ready to go out and do some raking and was told by my wife to STAY INDOORS. The pic I used for this discussion is perfect for representing the DOG DAYS OF SUMMER 2018. I hope you like it. It is not my dog, but I am sure the owner of that hot dog is proud of his pet. Okay, then, I will not go rake that area of the yard now. Fine. I will just take off my Dallas Cowboys baseball cap, and remove my flip-flps and head back to the computer. It is cool in the house. I did go outside for a minute to dump out a bowl of strawberries that had molded in the fridge. I just figured it this advice was good for me to follow, I should follow up on it and share an article about why not to go out in the yard when it's triple digits outside. Meanwhile, I watch Black Bear News because it's better than local news and I enjoy myLot. So I got nowhere to go. The only other thing I could do is finish that book I was reading this morning or finish up this post and then play the Sims 4 for a little longer and have some more 4 minute coffee. I have lived long enough to know better than go rake when it's past 100 degrees F. But I was comfy in the cave and thought about doing a little raking. NOT FOR A SINGLE SECOND. I have to wait til early morning tomorrow to go and rake, before the temp goes back up and it will be a degree hotter tomorrow afternoon than it will be later on today.
