Oh well, I guess I will just have to stay in the air conditioned house and get some sewing and embroidery projects done today and the rest of the week

I'm another cutie in Arkansas and I'm soo tired of 105
heat. Our pastures are a pretty shade of brown. Had to put a round bale of hay out for the cattle. Have never had to feed hay in July. I can't keep the garden watered enough. I'm so ready for fall and winter. Hugs..Carol

I am in Pineville, NC at the edge of Charlotte and we have had some 104 days, that is just too hot for me. I have been in doors for days. For those of you that love the heat, enjoy and for others keep on chilling out.
Xoxo, Jo Ann

I hear thunder as I write, maybe it will rain and cool down. I am so sorry for those that lost so much in the wildfires.

Dee, I used to live in Sartell, lol. I have a daughter living there still. Now I live in Milaca. I too am trying to use up some of my fabric, but sort of a miracle that won't happen very soon. I have about 30+ bins of material to try and use up.
Inherited about 1/3 of what I have.

Since the temperatures have been so high lately here is something just for fun and for folks to be able to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, here is a site to do that for you.

Enjoy.

Guess you will have to move to the north eastern half of the state where Lake Superior keeps us at a mild 72 today, with lake breezes all day.

Oh but your winters put me in a deep freeze, although that would feel pretty good right now. lol. Was at Traverse City to a fmly reunion on the bay on the 4th of July a couple of yrs ago. They put me in a chair in the sun and wrapped me in a quilt while there were others turning blue swimming in the bay. LOL

I lived on the north shore of Superior for 14 years. Loved the summers but the winters were brutal!

We still had fog over this side of town by noon and later today, so it's very slow to warm up!

Yes I hear the whole country is going through a heat wave. In California we are due to heat up next week again to 100's in Valleys. I agree humidity just makes heat miserable. So pool or Air conditioning. Today its lovely at 87 and breezy.
Just cooking steaks on the barbecue and checking my
emails and cute.

I live in Minnesota too, this is not weather we are used to dealing with and the 100% humidity to start the day off sure isn't helping any especially with the unusally high dew points to top that off. We don't have central air or air conditioning so we are sitting in front of fans or going down into the basement to cool off. Sure glad its only a few days during the summer we have todeal with this humidity and heat combo! I hope you are staying cool and safe! Don't forget to drink lots of Water!
Hugs and flowers
Diane

I'm in Windsor, Ontario and today with the temp and humidex, it's like 46'C (115'F) with possibility of severe weather in the evening. We have been breaking heat temps here too and no break in site for the next week either. Thank goodness for air conditioning. Had no power for 12 hrs yesterday and it was nuts how hot the house was.

Hot in Texas, 95 today, burn ban in effect. No BBQ's or fireworks allowed for individuals. But the city will put on a fireworks show. Makes no sense to me. Everything is just so dry. Hope everyone stays safe.

Oh - I live in Germany but my youngest daughter actually is visiting family (first time after one of our mutual
ancestors emigrated to the States in 1886 - family reunion)
in Minneapolis but this week they all went to Wisconsin
to meet other relatives there and celebrate 4th of July.
Congratulations to all of you American ladies to this event. Monique, my daughter, spoke to me via Skype and she said it was quite too hot for her. They also have the air condition and they only leave the house early in the morning to make walks with the little twin babies.
In Germany it is hot too but we have lots of thunder and
lightning here while my English girl friend said they suffer of flood and are having rain for several weeks now. How different life is all over the world - btw - my
youngest son is in New Zealand and wrote he will go skiing tomorrow :-)) Hugs, Maria

Knoxville, TN has broken a lot of records, including the one for the all time highest temp...we were 105! Yuk. Every time we come into the house, we say a prayer of thanks for AC! And I don't think emb. machines need the hot, humid weather either! So AC sure helps care for our machines too!
