I returned home today and watched the temperature climb as I headed north through Spokane and on up to Kettle Falls. When I stopped in
Colville it was 105 degrees. I experienced a wall of heat that hit me and made me go limp.
When I arrived home this is what our deck registered out in the sun.
A few hours later it dropped a bit. It is now 8:10 and it reads about 90 degrees. I mustered up the strength to take a garden tour to see how the flowers were doing.
Lilies must like the heat because they are showing their bright colors.
I was surprised to see a
shirley poppy spout up in the rose garden. You never know where they they might show up. I think if I plan to enjoy the gardens tomorrow I will have to get up about 4:00 a.m. For right now I am going to get a cool drink and let the small a.c. blow on me.
I was down all day today, still recovering from my drive home Saturday. I don't know how hot it was in the car, but it sure has laid me low. I hope to be back on my feet tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how hot your deck is.
Double shudder.
Holy cow! Those bright colored flowers must certainly love the heat. We are expecting 91 today which usually includes a lot of humidity. Ughhh
ReplyDeletep.s. I've tagged you for a photo meme--ONLY if you feel like it :O)
I think Blogger ate my first response to this.
ReplyDeleteMy mouth fell open when I saw the temperatures that you've been having. Didn't know it got that hot up there. We had it almost to 100 a couple of weeks ago here in Virginia. Hate it.
