WTF, Weather?!
Okay, I'm all about accepting and adapting to whatever Mother Nature throws at us, but this is getting ridiculous. First of all, we haven't had rain in a month*. The rain barrel is empty, and The Jungle, aka the vegetable garden, looks sorry indeed.
*Okay. We received 0.2" while we were down the ocean, according to Bobby's CoCoRaHS rain gauge. Woohoo.
It's also been insanely hot. We survived one heat wave already with temperatures reaching 100+F in Baltimore (the low 90s or about 32C here). When we heard this current heat wave was coming, Bobby cried uncle and put in the AC units because, today, temperatures could get as high as 107F/42C in Baltimore and might even reach 100F/37C in Manchester. I'm not sure what they are because, while I usually eat lunch out on the patio, even I have my limits, so I ate my food out of bowls while lounging on the couch and reading Walt Whitman. I figure that if the AC is on, I might as well enjoy it.
