We're Having a Heat Wave!



We have now had our 41st day of temperatures over 100 degrees! It's definitely a record-breaking heat wave. We haven't seen anything like this since temperatures even started being recorded in the late 1800's. Wednesday temps got up to 111 degrees here in Tyler! Can you believe it? It's like we're living in Arizona with the added humidity!

Our grass, flowers and shrubs are all burning up... We're just all thankful for air conditioners and pools and icemakers and our trees shading our back yard. Whew! It's hot, hot, hot!Luckily, we'll have some reprieve as we leave for San Diego shortly. We've been missing those cool mountain temps we felt up in Brighton last month at the family reunion, so maybe we'll get to experience a little cooler sea breezes in sunny California....
