CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

It was Hot today....it got up to 91° on the N side of the bird house, and 96 in the backyard....in the sun some. I had to quick working at noon. The dad-blame wasps kept buzzing my head, I'm already Sick of them....and the flies are driving the goats crazy too. Going to have to draw "Battle Lines" soon, but I have 10 wires left to thread, and fence to stretch. They are saying the Hi is 60° for tomorrow, and rain coming tonite. The goats even cut their walk short today, they were panting like dogs and rain to the water buckets and shade. I did see something today...
This little yellow bloom is a wild strawberry, there is a patch of them here. We really need these temps to drop. It seems that "Life" just gets crazier and crazier, don't it?

Wow that's hot! How hot are your summers, typically? Because it rarely (if ever) hits 96 here in the summer and it's kind of amazing to think of that temp in March!

We weren't as warm but we had a heck of a blow around an hour ago. We had a tree limb come down on the hot wire but no damage. We planted another 4 fruit trees and a couple of berry bushes.

See Fred, all that is why you should live up here near @NH homesteader and me. No wasps or flies yet, no 91° or 96°. Just nice white snow, frozen ground and the start of mud season (take 3)

My driveway is a mud pit, and my husband and his friend built a snow castle for my daughter while they were boiling sap today. Should be a high of 22 tomorrow, last I checked.

Usually, the hottest days are from the middle of July thru August.....around here they are termed the "Dog Days"....the highs run 95-115 as a range, but triple digits are not real common...with humidity factored in the "Feels Like" temps reach up towards 120 at the worst. We usually get a drop in weather and temps in Sept, and have seen Frost in Oct. Didn't happen this past yr tho...heat didn't break much til Oct this past yr. The elevation makes a Big difference in the humidity and heat.

15° tomorrow, 25° Thursday.

Sounds like you and Joyce need to move near @Mike CHS at 1,500 feet

I forgot how hot and humid it gets in Mississippi. I was stationed at Shuqualak at a Navy auxiliary field back in the 70's and it could get miserable there.

 

[CntryBoy777]

Don't get me wrong by any means, if I didn't live here, middle to eastern Tn would be where I looked. However, I am resigned to living out my "Days" right Here.....no rent/note, am familar with surroundings, have options of doing just as I wish to, and I've donated my body to science to UM at Jackson. Therefore, I have to die within the state's borders. I don't want a funeral or ceremony of Any kind.....IMHO they are the biggest Scam that exists. If my Master spoke this all into Creation, then He can call me forth no matter where, or what state this body my be in.
So, yes there are other places that may be more to our liking, I won't be leaving Mississippi.....except to Visit, of course.

Mike, was the limb down from wind or lightning? I saw the line go thru there, after your post on the repeated news. Seemed pretty rough.
