We are stuck in that heat wave again. We are at day 5 of temps. over 100. Today it is 106. I can honestly say we are all sick of the heat. We are supposed to drop below 100 on Thurs., and then we will be right back in the oven again.
Ben wanted to take the children and go to the lake tomorrow, and let them swim and ride in the boat, but it is really too hot to spend any extensive time outdoors.
We are trying to get all our chores done before noon, and then we lay around read, watch movies, and even play games. I wilt in extreme heat and humidity. I have never really adapted to it. I just hide when it gets this hot. I go out early in the morning, or after the sun has dipped over the horizon.
Last night at 7:00 it was still 102. Even my chickens are unhappy... they are sitting in the damp dirt of my flower beds trying to stay cool.
Alexandra sat in Peppers water bucket to try to beat the heat, and i can't say i blame her. The weather man says we will have the rest of July, and all of August to face with extreme heat. I am praying they are wrong...
I am so grateful to live in the age of air conditioning and ceiling fans...Granny said when she was a girl, you had to stop working when it got too hot, and she slept on an iron bed in the yard under the pecan trees all summer long...I am so afraid of bugs and critters, i can just picture myself outside with a sheet pulled up around my ears trying to dodge the bugs, i probably wouldn't sleep at all...
I really hate bugs...

Oh Wow!!!! I just can't imagine. We're moaning here about heat when it gets over 80. Today it's raining and my kids are inside because they are COLD!!! Didn't you say your husband works at a brick plant? How does he do it? I bet you are hoping those weather men are wrong!!! Maybe God will bring a cooling trend. We had a rip roaring thunderstorm last night - the kids thought it was great - but we don't have to worry about tornados - too many mountains. Thank you for sharing your verse with me - I love Isaiah - I haven't read it in a while - I think I will read it next. Continuing to pray for you!!
I think i am heading your way, our low last night was in the 80's. Of course, i might freeze to death. When my sister lived in Lake Oswego, OR, i flew out for 2 weeks, and was so cold.
My husband and his crew are really struggling with the heat. It is already unbearable on the kiln decks, they have to take frequent breaks, drink lots of water, and get into air-conditioning to try to stay cool.
Thank you for the prayers...
