It Broke!! It Finally Broke!!...........

The horrible, sent-from-hell heat wave has finally broke!  I felt like a new woman today!  I actually cleaned the house - and really cleaned; did laundry, used the dryer; the A/C and fans were all off, windows were opened!  BH went fishing!

It did get a bit warm in the afternoon, and I did have to turn on the fans and A/C about 11:30am.   But the mugginess was at a minimum; temp got to about 85.  We probably would've survived without the cooling machines, but I'm a bit paranoid right now.  Any time it's over 75 degrees, they're all going on!

We had a quick thunderstorm go through about an hour ago.  It left us with a wonderful cool breeze coming through the windows!  Ahhh, to sleep; perchance to dream..........

Our work is cut out for us tomorrow.  Since the "blast furnace" weather with the humidity that made the grass grow even faster than 3 days of rain, BH will be taking care of that.  And then there's weedwhacking - my job.  A few more things to do in the house too.

I can't wait for this weekend.  We're supposed to have highs in the 60's!!  The 60's!!  Oh, visions of Fall!!  I pray that this last week and some doesn't rear it's ugly head in August.

I can't imagine living through the heat without central air, though I know it's a bit cooler up there! I was just happy to go water the plants without being drenched in sweat when I was done!

We are still in the heat and they say a couple of high 80's and then back up to 90+. I had to water the garden in the hopes it produces something.
