Like so much of the country we have been under a heat spell with no rain. June was a very dry month for us. Our flowers are struggling, even with daily watering. The grass is hopeless.
I cannot imagine what it would have been like in the days before any kind of air conditioning. My mom tells me that's why they would go spend the day at the movie theater--because they had air conditioning and you could get in for a quarter and stay all day. When I was a very little girl we had a window air conditioner in the living room. But not in the bedrooms. Eventually we had them in bedrooms too and then finally we had central air.
Over the last two weeks we have had eleven days that were 103 or higher. And humid too. And yet, no rain! We had spotty showers come in on the July Fourth but beyond that, almost no rain for the last six weeks. Sunday afternoon we had plenty of thunder and lightening but not as much rain as we hoped we might get.
But the upside is that this week's forecast calls for high temps in the 90s rather than 100+. I guess you just take what you can get and be glad it's not worse.
