Preparing…

for the heat wave that is headed our way.  Actual temperatures today to reach mid 90s, actual temps to reach 102 tomorrow with heat indices to reach 110 degrees tomorrow.  I am thinking of my Australian friend who wrote in her blog yesterday that they had snow.  I am OK with snow so long as it doesn’t impair the driving conditions in any way.  Ice is even worse.

SO! I am well equipped with food and entertainment and saying thanks every minute that the AC keeps running.

I have a roast with carrots, potatoes and onions going in the crockpot right now.  I think when it is done I will fix some cornbread to go with it.  I had one errand to run this morning and I zipped right through that.

I hope you all have a great day!  Stay safe, be happy, and keep cool, except for my Australian friend, to her I say keep warm.

  4. Nearby cities hit 111 yesterday while we hovered at 100 with high winds last night. There was a large fire we could see in the nearby county but it didn't effect us fortunately...some lost homes I hear. Today it's much cooler with the highs only reaching the eighties...no complaints however it will edge up in the nineties again this week.

  14. I remember the blizzard of 2011 in Northern IL! I hate the extreme heat more than the snow, though. It is stifling and everything is drying up. I like the green grass & flowers. I want rain & normal temps. *sigh*
