The heat index is what I care about lately. How hot does it feel? How much more heat can we stand?

The temperature, humidity and lack of a cool breeze have made it feel like over 100 degrees for almost 3 months straight now. We still have all of August and most of September as our summer. Ugh!

We sure could use a couple of weeks of cooler temperatures.

This winter I have been so cold and miserable it is a wonder that someone has not kicked my butt. I can not wait for spring to get here, it will not be a moment to soon. I know that we will have at least one more cold snap this winter, but I am ready for spring. I can not wait for the birds to return to our yard and for the grass to green up, I will not mind when it comes time to mow the yard again, and that is one job that I really hate. I miss the warm days and the nice cool nights of spring. Go away Old Man Winter and let spring get here as soon as possible.

Today Phil the ground hog in Pennsylvania saw his shadow and he predicts 6 more weeks of winter. I do not know if he is going to be right, but I know one thing for sure. I am more than ready for spring to get here, the sooner the better as far as I am concerned. This winter has been long, cold and very wet and I am ready to find some sand and sunshine and I want to find it very soon. A trip to the beach is in my very near future plans and I can not wait to see sand and sunshine.

My grandson’s first ever snowman. Actually, we decided to make a snow-woman. I don’t know why the project went in that direction, but there you have it. He did a great job!

It snowed again last night. We at least 3 or 4 inches on the ground, with the prediction for more today. This is a lot of snow for us. Poor Dottie does not like to get her feet wet, so wet AND cold is a definite issue with her.
