Re: dry as an old bone

Yeah- we are also going to be in the heat today. I made an apple pie this AM to take to friends, then went out and weeded for an hour or so, but 9:30 I was done and it was getting warm. We are inside now with all the windows closed up and ceiling fans on. Probably about 80 inside, but with the fans it is fine. The AC will kick on later I'm sure- it's set at 82 when we are home.

You can send it my way, we are supposed to hit 110

was pretty darn hot yesterday too, although my patio
thermometer only said 90. (It always reads 90, except
in the winter when it reads 20.)
Anyway off to weed the corn before it gets really
scorching, I should have been out there an hour ago.

Sure wish this monsoon of ours would head east. 
Believe me.

I'm going to try the bottle method in places

the

sun, I'm thinking that the water will get too

hot.  Don't know about

Sounds like you are going to need to put

together some kind of

watering

system with a timer to keep everything alive

for you 10 day trip.....

P.S.  It is supposed to be 103 tomorrow and

105 thursday.

I

it may make it. I'm

ten days and I'm concerned that many things

get

back.


What is strange is that even though my

tulip populars are in a

place

that gets watering their leaves are turning

yellow and many of my

asters

are starting to put out buds and bloom!!!

Usually they bloom in

late

August and early September!!!
