Hi Merme.

You know DOT has cut 2 trees down in the yard that shaded this gauge. I laughed when I saw it and thought it was broken, but it's not. So, at some point during the afternoon it must have been that hot in that location. Sad to say that's the area that WAS my shade garden. I had pansy's, in pots, in that area through July. Already this season one pot of pansys has already bit the dust. We'll see what happens to the hosta.

Surely that's just hotter from being in the sun? I know mine is like that...the other day it was about 82 and my thermometer said it was 105....it was sitting in full sun...as soon as the sun shifted off the porch it went back to the correct temp.

It's even hotter than today's high temp in my town! The high is supposed to be in the 80's

Mine does the same thing when the sun hits it full about mid morning,, then by noon it drops 30 degrees,,

I hope your hosta's do okay without the shade now Sheri!

It is rainy and cool here but waiting for Tueday when it is calling for in the 60's here. Can't wait for those warm temps to get here. Sorry you can't work in your gardens Cindy just relax and enjoy the blooms

a nap sounds good--or you could go sit in a chair & "supervise"--*DH hates when I do that*

Cindy, would you like some books to help pass the time? I have TONS...I could send you a few if there is a certain genre you like.

Cindy, speaking of books-----I have just about every Sharon McCone Mystery book printed.--they are by Marcia Muller. if you are interested, let me know---I know the 'just sitting' this time of year is especially hard.

It was so hot at the ball park today that when I slid my foot out of my flip flop for a second it burned my foot when I slid it back in.

ahhh summer in the south.. oh wait, it's still spring! official high today is 91.

I know Right Jiffy!! Yesterday it was 88 here,,
