Sixteen days over 100F in July, and August is starting off with a bang. At least the first 3 days over 100, and likely many more to come. The lawns and trees are starting to show the heat stress as well, and its not worth the water and cost to maintain. Will keep watering a couple of times a week but am not going to worry about keeping a green lawn, the real downside is that I have not been able to fertilize and weed and feed to kill the weeds that are notoriously drought tolerant!
The girls are off for their weekend this weekend. A 3-4 hour ride tomorrow. They are taking off a bit late so their portion after lunch should be quite toasty, however they'll still reach their destination fairly early in the afternoon. The ride home Sunday shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I have a bit of yard work tomorrow, would like to sod a couple of patchs, but don't know if they'll take with this heat, and I have some yard trash to clean up. If I can get all that done before lunch that will be about all that can be done in the heat, then its basking in the pool time.
