It was hot again on Thursday. When I got home, I checked the weather. There were severe storms moving through the northern suburbs with the potential of hitting here, so I decided NOT to water the raised bed garden.
I did go out and water that patch of grass, refilled the bird feeder and the bird bath, though.
Then, back in the air conditioning, I started the Wednesday night wash and began to do the weekly house cleaning (I missed that last weekend and it was starting to show).
I got everything swept and vacuumed and all the furniture, etc., in the kitchen moved to the living room. About that time, I realized I couldn't wash the kitchen floor until the dryer was done. So, I put that on "pause."
My daughter Melissa called and we talked for a l-o-n-g time. When we finally hung up, I was more interested in dinner than a clean kitchen floor.
I was still trying to eat up all those tomatoes, so this time I tried topping the slices with olive oil, sea salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar and feta cheese. I managed to use up three more tomatoes, but the combination of balsamic vinegar and feta cheese was a bit too much.
In spite of all the "warnings" on the TV, I don't think any rain actually showed up here. I ate dinner and then went to bed.
How do you figure it's been hot? I've been commenting (as late as yesterday) how cool it's been the past couple weeks. Was this weather localized over regions where people don't want to do their chores?
ReplyDeleteYou have got to be kidding! It's been in the 80's for like half the summer. In fact, I heard on the weather yesterday that if this keeps up, it may go down as one of the hottest summers in Michigan!
ReplyDeleteGeezzz, you don't know what HOT is! We don't drop below 80ºf until 5am... ;)
ReplyDeleteLook like it'll go into the record book though. Right along with 1936 and 1988.
@RPG: Yikes! But now I understand Jake's comment, since they lived in Texas for a while
