The weather has turned hot.. very, very hot. Try as I might to think of ice cubes and polar bears, the severe weather alert we're under is overpowering my imagination. Instead of a swimming pool, I think of hot springs like Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park. It is the largest hot spring in the USA!
Visualize snowflakes, you say? I'm trying, but they resemble - HOT AIR BALLOONS! That would be a weather phenomenon to videotape and go viral on YouTube.
Picture working at a flower shop with cool temperatures and beautiful flowers. Gosh, no, it didn't work. I feel more like I'm watching my father-in-law fire up the arc welder and put heavy plates of metal back together.
This is a good warning for hot weather. Don't touch it! Back away from the sun. This is a day to stay inside and resist exercise.
In case you haven't guessed, it's

| Extremely Hot! |
Mother Earth is delivering a lot of surprises this year. Roll with the punches, stay sane, and take care of yourself and your family. Water never tasted so good.
So.. how are you handling your weather?
Our weather has been kind of cool around here, which is odd. Hardly any beach days and that is not like us.
ReplyDeleteIt has been so hot the last few week. If I am doing anything outside I try to drink lots of water. We usually get an afternoon thunderstorm that helps to cool things off.
ReplyDeleteWe're staying inside as much as possible. It's insanely hot in our neck of the woods. It's deadly hot.
ReplyDeleteOur weather in Toronto has been quite crazy. It's been cooler and a lot of rain. Which is shocking for this time of year but I'll take it right now. - Jeanine
ReplyDeleteThose blistering temperatures are hard to handle. My son said it was warm but really stormy in Michigan.
ReplyDeleteSo far in MN we are just getting to some hot days. It has been tolerable although today was a hot one pushing up into the upper 80's.
ReplyDeletewe are in a 'heatwave' right now. Tomorrow and this weekend is supposed to be in the 100's, so we are going to the beach to cool down :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been so hot here in California too. It was unusually hot this June. It usually doesn't get this hot until July or August.
ReplyDeleteA/C, some iced sweet tea, and staying inside or in the shade! Too hot for me and I want nothing to do with it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little jealous. It's been nothing but rain and cool weather all summer here!
ReplyDeleteIt's hot over here too so our fans are definitely running full blast on a near-constant basis!
ReplyDeleteIt's been pretty hot this week so we are hunting down air conditioned activities. The kids don't want to spend a ton of time outdoors unless it's in the pool.
ReplyDeleteWe are taking advantage of the beautiful weather we're having and going on little adventures. It's pretty warm, but we are managing.
ReplyDeleteI love the warm weather but i do not like to get overheated. I stay inside in the cool air during the peak heat times. It is important to stay hydrated during the heat wave.
ReplyDeleteIt has finally started to feel like summer here! After daily rain for who knows how long, the sun has finally started to shine and I couldn't be more excited to usher in the warm weather.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm hating the hot weather we've been having too. It scares me because it's not even yet July! I hate to think of what July and August are going to be like.
ReplyDeleteIt's been hitting record 100s over here in Florida. Our air conditioner is working overtime!
ReplyDeleteWe live on the California Central Coast and it's pretty cool here. We don't even have air conditioners! Try to stay cool! :)
