Good Morning!--Chat thread

[Thewife]

It's barely after 10 and it's already 85 according to the thermometer on my shaded kitchen window!
The boy and I went down to the field and dug out the big rocks I hit with the brush hog the other day. Then we threw some chips under the shrubs the dogs insist on digging out to find a cool place to stay. I put the sprinkler under there for awhile, so it should be a cooler spot for them today!

Amy and BBH, A/C is not really a good thing!
I have no excuse for this messy house I am trapped in!

Silene Californica - common name: Indian Pink, but is more red than pink.

Already in the 90s outside, our heat comes later in the afternoon, can't wait - not. Same news here, so I'll just wish that everyone has a great day and...waving hello

Thank you! Your photos are beautiful!!

I still wish I had A/C, thewife...although I will say my friend's A/C was set to 69 degrees yesterday and after being outside in 104 degree heat for three or four hours, it was too cold in the house! I had goosebumps!

Test results back. Do you think that lupus is bad enough that my DH will let me get a housekeeper? Now I have med. proof of my exhaustion! Probably a crappy joke, but I am a little on the weird side at the moment-not at all what anyone was expecting and I am kinda freaking out. I am doing some research now and maybe a nap cause it's been a hell of a day.
To all of you with the severe heat: I have been wearing a sweater all morning, it's that chilly here at the moment. WEIRD weather here.

It's a big change but, with treatment you can do well.

I know of two people with lupus both are doing fine with treatment. One well enough that she was able to have a couple of babies of their own instead of adoption like they thought they would have to do. The other is a young child.

thanks Kitty

I got so cold when I came in a little while ago, I was tempted to turn the A/C off!
We are sitting above 100, that's in the shade!

All the chickens have their wings hanging down and are panting!
Even the Guineas are under the big tree, panting? I thought they were from Africa, shouldn't they like this ###### heat?


Homesteadingcowgirl, Sorry I don't know a thing about Lupus.

Hey, thewife, National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for extreme S.E. Thurston Co. due to a stationary thunder storm with 2" of rain/hr. I think it's for closer to the very corner of the county (Elbe and Mineral in Pierce and Lewis Co. are specifically named), but just wanted to make sure you don't have anyone or anything down in low creek-side areas that might get it.

It's 106 in the shade here, 88 in the house. I'm about to keel over. Gonna see if I can hose down the calves and the dogs (cows are too far from the hose), and will mist my chicks again.

We've never had flash floods here, but at this point I think if I knew there was a chance, I would go sit and wait for it!
Bruiser snuck down to the creek by himself to go for a swim! I wish I could explain to the other dogs, they can do it to if they want to!

It's finally down to 90! I did all my chores!
I do need to go back out there and get some eggs? My reliable layer quit when the heat came on, the 2 I gave up on, started laying?
