It's been another laid back day today. I fed and watered the animals but still need to go back out and water the plants. It's hot again today with high of 95, but that is better than the high 90's. We may as well enjoy it because next week we are back in the heat wave. High temperatures 98 and up for the week. That will not be fun and have the heat index over 115F. Yikes!! I had a late brunch today, so fixing to go round up a little snack to tide me over. I'm thinking about a couple of Oreos and a glass of milk. What are you up to today? Anything exciting?

@Ineeddentures I haven't had curry since my Indian friend made some that I worked with back in the Biogeochemistry Lab at LSU when I first started working there in the late 80's! That was a perk of the place getting to try international foods. We always had a pot luck on Thankgiving and foreigners would bring a dish from home country.

Nope not a thing. I wouldn't be able to deal with that kind of heat. It was 90 here for an hour or two..and was pretty uncomfortable with the humidity, any higher though and I wouldn't be outside at all, or only in the lake

I think a day at the lake is in our near future either fishing or bringing canoe and or kayaks. For sure when it cools off!

That's good! I think staying in the house so much is part of my problem right now because I like being outdoors! Yet, these temperatures are too high to stay outside in.

That's not too bad. We dipped to low 90's last week with that cool front from the system in the Gulf that came through FL.

Nothing exciting today. It is currently 101 F degrees, and you can’t move me from being in the air conditioning.

Yes and hit a bit earlier than usual this year. We usually stay hot through August and mild (80's) in September for the most part. Cooling off may or may not start in Sept. in my area.
