Time to go outside and get muddy / myLot

Ok, so only her feet and my boots get muddy but still, it tracks inside when I get too hot to stay outside. It's in the triple digits here and it doesn't look like there will be a cool front anytime soon. Well, I've lived here 57 years so I'm kinda used to it. Is it too hot to handle where you are? Would you rather it were freezing cold?

It was 103 by 4pm. Now it's almost comfortable at 96.

Enjoy the soak! We've only had a few days of triple digits and the rest has been in the 90s . . . it's tolerable for me but it's not at its highest point yet . . . it's coming though. I sure wouldn't want it freezing cold though (but cool, yes, cool is nice!!).

@rebelann Yah, I'd say mid-high 70s is just about right for me too. I would die in snow country

Hmmmm, right now I wouldn't mind if it got down to 70 but not for too long, that's as cool as I'd want to be.

If it only comes once a year on say Christmas eve then ok @much2say but after that I want the warm sunshine again.

Freezing temperatures would not be my choice @rebelann but the triple digits temperature is not much fun either! We try to stay in the shade (ha, ha) when we have to work outside.

Yes, I look for shade as well. Unfortunately trees are sparse in this region.

Yes, I much prefer freezing to boiling

. Do you have any water shortages where you are?

They have water restrictions but I rarely use more than I am supposed to. It's one reason I don't do too much planting.

the cold works for me, in the past used to love the sun and the heat, but now not so much

85 is too cool to play water sports so I like the upper 90s @CookieMonster46 sometimes it gets into the triples which I don't really like but usually it doesn't last that long.
