Yeah. We're toast come August. It's been in the mid 90s all week with heat index levels of around 105 ish. Ugg.

The chickens are having a wretched time of it. I've been tossing them frozen fruit and putting frozen litter bottles out there with them. So far no deaths, but it's miserable!

It's 10:13pm and it's 91 degrees outside.

But there is a slow breeze. ...ha.

VERY hot out here. I hate okie summers, I'd much rather it be freezin cold. Anything over 65 degrees is way to hot for me LOL.

Maybe...I hope it will cool off quicker this summer since its getting SO hot SO early

That global warming thing gets me! This planet is still recovering from a mini Ice age http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age that took place just a few centuries ago. Trends of warmth and cold, rain and drought is what this natural world is all about. Though, I am no scientist and all this pullution and population growth must cause some reaction...

I do know that I haven't seen very many lightening bugs or butterflies in past years and now my backyard is alive with light in the evenings and Im seeing caterpillars EVERYWHERE!! Thanks to this rainy season, I persume. Also inendated with mosquitos... thanks, rain

On a side note, I've been seeing these purple, painted, plywood, kite-shaped boxes on the back roads here in WV as well as PA and MD. Has anyone else been seeing these. They are hanging in the trees. Hubby thinks that they are bat houses put up by the state in order to combat our mosquito issues.
