What's a matter Cyn? Did you lose one?

No, I'm crying at your temps! This is relentless!

Oh, I'm glad you didn't lose one.

Yes, as of August 1st I will have been in Arkansas 7 years. Worst summer so far.

We've been here in the N. Ga mtns for 9 years and this is our first really terrible summer. Ours are usually pretty bearable, maybe a day or two at 90 with high humidity, but very cool nights, being at 2000 ft. Last year, temps were high, but the humidity wasn't this awful for this long. This year, it's been hot and humid since May and I'm about at the breaking point.

I am too. One of the meds. I take makes it difficult for me to tolerate the heat at all. I do 30 minutes of outside chores and I'm wiped out.

On a brighter note, Maggie enjoying the A/C:

She looks so much like my Caroline, though my girl isn't a bantam.

That's a happy chicken! Now if you could only get her to do some typing and filing.

I tried teaching her how to type, but she only got as far as hunting and pecking.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I'm sorry to hear about your losses

Maine may not get hot by some people's standards, but we lost a hen last week to the heat.
