Man is it ever hot!

According to our indoor/outdoor thermometer it’s 99°F (37C) in the shade but that’s better than today’s high of 102°!

The heat wave still has me trapped indoors where the air conditioning makes it possible to breathe. This is extra tough on me since my new telephoto lens arrived yesterday and I can’t go wandering the ridges to try it out. Just walking out to the truck and waiting for the air conditioners to kick in is enough to cause me problems.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a little cooler but very humid as an approaching cold front brings scattered showers and thunderstorms into the area. We would prefer a slow, soaking rain but any moisture at all will be welcome. It’s hard to believe that just a few short months ago we wondering if winter would ever end.

Maybe I’ll have some lightning strikes to post tomorrow…..if the power doesn’t go out. If we do drop power I may end up in the hospital with breathing problems but at least it will be cool. They have A/C and a generator!

Meanwhile I’ll just look at my winter photos and think back to early march when we still had 2 feet of snow on the ground.
