Heat Wave Happenings

While this heat wave has been great for the electricity providers, people up here are not well prepared.  They don't drink enough water and are suffering from the effects of heat exhaustion and even worse, heat stroke.  Meanwhile, Caroline and I have been doing our outside chores in the early am and then hitting the local swimming hole in the afternoons.  We may be turning into brown prunes, but the spring fed pond keeps us cool.  My gardens don't seem any worse for the heat and are doing surprisingly well; especially the day lilies.
