Our winds (a little microclimate) helps. An umbrella like your would end up somewhere else, far far away. <br /><br />But your deck looks just right.

I'll miss the heat when it's gone! Ugh.<br /><br />sheila, some years are wet, some dry, some are hot, some are cool. And some are just right!<br /><br />evelyn, it was a very odd year.

I think we had left by the time folks started actually dying in Paris.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-16623669992762712452016-08-25T13:15:44.616+02:002016-08-25T13:15:44.616+02:00Oddly enough here in usually screaming hot Texas i...Oddly enough here in usually screaming hot Texas in August, we've had over 8 inches of rain in the<br />last week or so. Temps have only reached into the 80'sF. Must be the same system that drowned poor<br />Louisiana. No flooding here, but lots of green grass. So unusual for us...it has to be climate change.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335063080532127542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-17098768634721117162016-08-25T10:24:29.505+02:002016-08-25T10:24:29.505+02:00Too darn hot!

It means we're up much earlier than normal to let the cool air in and water the garden, but by mid afternoon we're exhausted. I seem to vaguely remember the solution to that was it called.......a siesta or something........?!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.com
