Today is June 5, 2011. Summer officially begins on June 21. The song that keeps coming to my mind is –
We’re having a heat wave,
A tropical heat wave,
The temperature’s rising,
It isn’t surprising…
It already feels like August weather. The grass along the sides of the road are dry and brown looking. Today the thermostat read 100 degrees. It was the kind of day that you want to be inside the house with the air conditioner turned down. Since we had a new air conditioner installed this Spring, the house feels rather cool – that is if you are sitting rather still like you do when you watch TV. I did go outside a few times. Just for a few short seconds the warmth of the sun felt good upon my skin. But once those few seconds are gone, the air would start to feel heavy and hot. It was hard to breathe the hot humid air. It was such a relief to get back inside where the air is cool. The next few days are fore-casted to be just as hot as today. This summer is beginning or rather the end of spring is ending as a hot one.
