It's 86F, feels like 93, on our way to a high of 92 (not sure what that will "feel like") — which is down from the 98 predicted a few days ago! Dew point is at a steamy 72. Hopefully, there'll be some thunderstorms beginning to roll through this evening.
It was pretty hot yesterday, too. Ali & the kids came into town because one of Rod's bands was playing this week at our city's Wednesday night outdoor concert series. I did not want to sweat anymore, having had enough of that getting two Airbnbs into shape yesterday, so I invited her up (the venue is maybe a block away as the crow flies)… "I have ice cream sandwiches!"
Junah & Ginny walked up on their own, using the uneven decrepit stone path that I think was built by the Civilian Conservation Corp back in the day (it has seen better days)! I had them drink some water & rest for a few minutes — even spritzed their faces with some moisturizer spray (so refreshing!) — before digging into the freezer. Ali & the other kids came up a little while later. It was a fun, quick visit.
Malina & Davy had some fun making gravel & mud concoctions — there's gotta be some benefit for someone with the huge mess on our street (that I can't stop complaining about). Rusty's been burying the downspout out front to connect it to the new storm drain (we've never had one of those before).
Look what happened when I said, "Strike a pose!"
I can't get over Davy's cock of the head and little smile!
I'll be back tomorrow to show off my NEW TOP and to share some details!

I’m sorry y’all are getting that first hand, at home experience with what summer is like where I live. Water, ice cream, ice cubes, and air conditioning are definitely saving graces. and for sure, the kids are way more resilient with the heat that we are (or our dogs! yikes, Lucy is wilting)
Our current weather is what you had a couple days ago – 94 degrees and it feels like 104. Definitely hotter than heck! I’m still sorry for the mess on your street but glad the kids have a fun pile of gravel to play in. That strike a pose photo is another classic!
We’re supposed to hit a heat index of or close to 100 today, and the dew point is currently 72, so I feel your pain! Ice cream and a cooling mist sound like the perfect way to deal with the heat. Can’t wait to see the new top!
Today’s supposed to be the hottest day yet. How about I come over for some ice cream sandwiches? (I’ll bring cold beer!) I love the kids and their “poses.” They are so great!
We’ve got similar heat here, too, and I’m over it! hahaha! It’s supposed to be cooler with lower humidity starting on Sunday and that sounds lovely right now.
This heat and humidity is just unbearable. I was so glad that the rains came through this morning and cooled things down a bit. I hope it did there too!
