Mother Nature is really not being kind to us this
week. After a lot of rain and dreary days, we have
all been so excited to see a week full of sun. Except
that the sun has come with extreme temperatures
and now we are under a "heatwave warning!" It
is nice to wake up to sun and we have managed to
figure out the best ways to keep our little cottage
cool when it's hot outside. We put the air on once
in the morning for about 20 minutes, then leave a
fan on (part of the system) to continue to move the
coolness around. We do this again before bed and
once more mid day if we need to. Windows are also
kept closed, along with blinds and shutters. We did
go outside yesterday and watered all my pots, the
gardens and the veggie patch. We also moved the
pots out of the direct sun onto the veranda so they
would be covered and cool. Little guy played out
yesterday twice but not for long. He got super hot
really quickly so back in to the cool house he came.
I'm fine with this heat, as long as it doesn't bring
storms in to the mix. So far, so good. It would be
the last thing we need at this time. Wish us luck!

We are just now coming off a heat wave and I am ever so thankful. We usually have three or four days of 90 or above temps a year. This year we have had sixteen!
I'm glad your heat wave is finishing up. Looks like we'll be having a thunderstorm tonight, which is always a worry when it's been so hot. A bit of rain in the morning and then back up to super hot again. That is crazy Debi how many days you've had with such high temps. Hoping ours doesn't last too long!
