The Old Folks Home

It's 91 degrees actual air temperature even way up here. Honestly our highs were in the 60s up until about 2 to 3 weeks ago. Compounding that issue is the fact that we have had not a drop of rain in over 2 weeks, and it is bone dry. Perfect recipe for wildfires. Hope all the out-of-town campers keep that in mind. If the woods around my house caught on fire, my place would be history, too much dead stuff laying around.

Personally, I'll take 90 degrees and high humidity to subfreezing and snow any day of the week. That is why God made Air Conditioners, Iced Tea and Pop sickles! And shade. Don't forget shade.

Looks like this is going to be one of those years where we benefit from both. No air conditioner here either. I do enjoy popsicles though

I am staying inside this afternoon and starting a jack cheese wheel!

This one cures for 30 days so it will be ready on the first of August. It has to dry for several day before it gets waxed

I take the cold better, I can layer, or wear down parka, etc. etc. and feel great outside.

In summer there is nothing I can do to feel comfortable outside. Taking off clothes is not the answer.

I'm definitely a hot weather person. My cardiac medicine causes my capillary flow to do weird things so I feel the cold more acutely. I can stay in the shade in the summer dressed in shorts and a tank top and be comfortable though. I hate having to layer on layers in the winter just to go out and take care of the chickens or run out to the barn to get wood. But I love to be able to run outside without having to layer on clothes and pull on boots.

Flip flops rule in the summer!

No we don't have central air. We have a large unit that exhausts outside for the bedroom area. I sewed a curtain to keep the cool air in, but allow the animals to move freely back and forth (amazing how they will whine and scratch at a closed door - always on the wrong side of it).

Spent most of the weekend under a quilt to try and finish it.

Someone I work with just got informed her adoption paperwork was approved for a 3 year old boy named Mason. He's developmentally disabled. I'm thinking about a mason jar quilt... with glow in the dark thread.

Here it gets to 75 no humidity I am whining

Yeah, the North West would be awesome if it wasn't for the daily downpour.

You have a great day also, Misty and all you 'old' folks out there do the same.

Looks like rain heading in here this morning then what else? More heat.

Thanks hope your day was good and the storm wasn't to bad

Whoopee another ice cream day - and I'm hoping to enjoy it. Come on folks - come over to the ice cream side.

Here I am
