Hot!

 We have no AC so window shades are down, curtains closed to keep what coolness we had overnight inside.

No gardening in this heat.  

The bugs are bad too - black flies and noseeums. I was outside yesterday morning watering without my usual bug repellant because it was only going to be a short time.  Mistake! I have a nasty bite on my shoulder.

We were awakened last night with a terrific boom of thunder.  Quite the storm went through dumping a good amount of water.

I read the other day that we are still in drought status because of the status of the aquifers.  Rains like we had last night help the ground but don't do much for aquifer.  Don't quite understand what's needed for the aquifer to come back to normal.

A mostly inside day here to stay out of the heat.  I do have a massage appointment at 3:00 which will take me out. 

Biggest decision of the day will be what to make for dinner that won't add to the heat.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
