Wind also. My hands were stinging when I came in. Trying to keep the girls warm and happy.

Oatmeal, eggs, yogurt... The usual "stick to the ribs" meal. It's pretty bitter here.

The power flickered here a couple of times.

I understand. I'm a native Angeleno. That means:

• 60° is cold
• 80° is hot
• 67° is for hiking
• 77° is perfect
• Snow is for playing in, not living in
• Rainy days are for going to Disneyland
• Humidity needs to be between 50%-70%, I am not a lizard

My genes are from coastal northern Europe. I start melting after 80°. I hibernate from March to November since the rain passes us by now. Rain was the only thing that made the 7-8 months of summer here even remotely tolerable and now it's gone.

Extreme living conditions drive human beings insane. If there's such a thing as prairie madness, there's also desert madness.

We have to cram a year's worth of living into 4-5 months. There's so much I need to get done, including building a new coop & run.

There are only 95 days left before the heat and dryness start up again!

I don't know how you do the heat in S. Arizona. Our N. Texas summers are rough enough. Yes!! Above 80 causes one to melt!! I rather enjoy 50-70 for outdoors. -do love snow, though (skiing, and the like)! We just never get any, here. Retirement to Maine is looking appealing....

Currently 37F with 55 mph wind gust...doing a number on my tarp roofing over my chicken runs...

I go crazy during the hot months. The confinement and isolation and extreme heat really drive people here insane.

It takes weeks for me to recover when it finally cools off, then I'm running running running to get everything done before it all comes back again. It's utter madness.

People who enjoy living here either 1) love the extreme heat for some unnatural reason, or 2) came from climates where they had six months of snow and mud and see this as an improvement.

They don't know what real paradise is :

74, partly cloudy, and a bit of a nice breeze. Really "Chamber of Commerce" weather for Thanksgiving.

My son lives only 30mins South-west from me but is 20mins from the coastline, where all the cooling comes in. He can't stand it. Luckily, he's a 20min drive from this:

Seven Mile Beach, Shoalhaven Heads

Try working in -50 temps. I fortunately only had to do that for 1 year.
