Fortunately, our summers are so dry that humidity usually stays low enough to be tolerable.<br /><br />Jeanne, the flowers below the garden harvest photo is Blue Star lavender, and the bell-shaped flower is a variety of clematis.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-71839348806722679382019-06-16T16:22:58.444-07:002019-06-16T16:22:58.444-07:00We've had HOT weather, too, but yesterday and ...We've had HOT weather, too, but yesterday and today are mid-80's, which is much more reasonable.<br /><br />Please tell me what the lavender and blue flower is, which is just below the strawberries and the peas, and also the dark blue bell shaped one down a little further.

Being a fan of Winter - I just can't adapt to steamy temps. I am sort of like the cute little bull dog of yours hovering near the AC vent. Of course we only cool 1375 square feet of space - much less than you. AC does create larger utility bills. Living here in the mid-atlantic states - it is. sort of the cost of living here.Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-19295864361628727012019-06-13T16:08:51.849-07:002019-06-13T16:08:51.849-07:00Actually, Susan, Brian has gotten to be a SENIOR w...Actually, Susan, Brian has gotten to be a SENIOR with the graduation of the 2019 class! He JUST squeaked by with grades good enough to be allowed to drive again, and play soccer next fall. Yes, cool nights mean less tomatoes and peppers here, but I'll take them! (Sleep is more important than garden tomatoes to me.)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-78442899541978097392019-06-13T08:21:00.875-07:002019-06-13T08:21:00.875-07:00Oh, that is too hot, too soon for me! It has been...Oh, that is too hot, too soon for me! It has been very up-and-down here. The days are either cooler than normal, or get to 80, then plunge down to low 40s at night. It makes sleeping great (if one slept), but the tomatoes and peppers aren't fond of it. I'm going to have to get creative in order to keep my ancient, blind llama cool this summer - I'm thinking multiple kiddie pools. How did Brian get to be a junior! I must have blinked!! xoSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-38801161782541869372019-06-12T23:28:10.399-07:002019-06-12T23:28:10.399-07:00Mama Pea, it is very unusual for us to NOT cool of...Mama Pea, it is very unusual for us to NOT cool off at night, so I cling to the promised of more typical weather tomorrow. And no matter the weather, we DON'T have your vicious bugs here, for which I am thankful! As for Brian's plans, that is a whole 'nuther blogpost . . . that I won't make public . . . .Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-75927086987397535512019-06-12T13:22:26.331-07:002019-06-12T13:22:26.331-07:0080 degrees by 7:30 a.m.!!!!

Temp is only in the low 70s outside when the sun is shining and there is a delightful breeze. But it keeps going behind clouds, the breeze stops and the terrible black flies come out like someone opened a gate for them. Ugh. So I've spent most of the time with my bug shirt on and that thing is HOT.<br /><br />Your flowers, as usual, are a delight to see.<br /><br />Only one more year for Brian in high school? Oh, my. I hadn't realized the years had zoomed by so fast for him. Does he have plans for going away to school? If he wanted to pursue his music, I bet there would be scholarship money out there for him.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
