I just looked at the forecast for the next week for our area. Unreal.
Sunday: 96
Monday: 97
Tuesday: 97
Wednesday: 96
Thursday: 97
Friday: 97
Saturday: 97
Sunday: 96
Monday: 97
And if you do math like I do, that's 870 degrees. Yup, every day. Why don't they just say "Blistering HOT!" In fact, as I write this it's 1:52am and it is STILL 85 degrees with 69% humidity. I might just die.
Time to stock up on frozen fruit bars! I'm putting bottles of frozen water in the chicken waterers now too, to help keep the chickens cool. I do believe Summer is officially here. *ugh!*
TOO hot for me! I just spent a week in CO. and came home to miserably hot house.
Try to stay cool.

That would be TOO DANG HOT for this Oregonian!! Stay hydrated my friend and in the AC.

I hear your pain, Girlie! Those temps, coupled with lots of humidity, make for misery in my book! It cracks me up that you add up all the predicted temps to reach the final total. :) This chicken and her (or should I say 'his'?) frozen fruit bar are so cute!

You can try to blow some of that warm weather over to Europe! I would love to get some summer over here in the Netherlands...

I think you and Alan should pack up all the animals (I know that's unrealistic) and move back to Oregon. I couldn't live in Texas, I'd melt!! I don't like it above 70*
I wonder if those frozen drinks are back at Taco Bell this summer - you got me hooked on them last year!

This heat is brutal, I'm in Houston and it's bad!! Took my dogs for a walk last night and wow, we were all happy to get back home and in the ac!!! I feel for all your critters, just nowhere to really get away from the heat! Take care Anna, Alan too......I bet Truman and Betty would like a fruit bar:)

If you care to send 10 or 15 degrees up here to Michigan I'm sure our boaters, swimmers, campers would be grateful. It is now mid June and we are having our first summer days
Posted by: Kathy Archer | June 15, 2009 at 07:12 AM
Yowzers! That IS awfully hot! Please, Please, PLEASE do not send your heat up north :-) I'm really enjoying our cool summer thus far in Nebraska!

Love your "new" math. It is hot here in Texas! Beautiful spring, super hot summer.

OMG! I hope you are making that chick with the frozen fruit bar into a stamp ~ I LOVE it!! Sorry to hear you are heading into the "oven" this week, I know I'd be planting my rear in a bucket of ice sitting in front of the a/c, humidity and I are not friends. I hope the week passes quickly for you, Alan and all the critters!

It's only just beginning in Georgia but I am grateful to say that at least we are not currently in a drought anymore.
Posted by: Erika M | June 14, 2009 at 11:56 AM
Oh, I hate the heat - so sorry for you and all your little animals!
Posted by: Lisa Ragano | June 14, 2009 at 10:40 AM
Sorry to say this, but I spend all winter wishing for those kind of temps. I live in VA and absolutely HATE winter. I will take the heat any time over the cold, dark days of winter. Another great thing about those temps is that they make the pool water warmer! I love going to the pool, but you won't see me in the water until the water is in the high 80s.

We had abit of sun and heat today but nothing like that and must admit you can keep it lol Hope you manage to keep get the fans and air conditioning going :0)
Posted by: Myra | June 14, 2009 at 09:49 AM
I feel for ya, girl. At least out here it's "dry heat," which is supposed to somehow make it easier to take... and it does... but any kind of searing heat is NOT my cup of tea!
Posted by: Lisa Hjulberg | June 14, 2009 at 08:39 AM
I live in a mild climate...it's extra chilly today too...about 48 F/8 C and the humidity is at 76%...yesterday was 64 F/18 C. I don't know if I'd last a day in a hot climate! (thought I'm not enjoying the chilly day here today!)
Posted by: Kelly Bee | June 14, 2009 at 05:27 AM
OMGosh, I know just how you feel...I know how AWFUL it is...just stay INSIDE in the A/C, and you MIGHT survive!!! I hated the heat in TX so much...I'd be drenched in sweat after getting all the boys in car seats and seat belts (after having JUST taken a shower)...SO frustrating! I love those strawberry fruit bars...you DO need lots of those! And frozen blueberries and grapes...those are good, too! :D
