This morning I was up and at the yard work early, not wanting to chance another heat stroke.
When I was done, it was time for a dip in the pool to cool down. When I checked the digital temperature gauge in the pool, it read 158 degrees...wow.
Of course it was not actually 158 degrees, it was probably more like 95 degrees. The warm water temps actually brought Tracy out for her annual dip in the pool. Last year she didn't make it in, so she made up for it this year. I was going to post a picture of the event, but I was told in no uncertain terms that I would not be posting any pictures.
When we moved to Arizona 19 years ago,Tracy had no desire for a house with a pool and I insisted. When the girls were young, we used it much more than we do now, it gets very expensive to maintain when compared to our current use.
So needless to say, it has been an inside day today, trying to avoid this heat. I am sure looking forward to a break in this weather come October.
Hope your day was a great one and thanks for the visit.
I am so NOT looking forward to getting down there in September because I know it is still going to be hot. I'm hoping maybe it will be down in the 90's - but that's probably just dreaming on my part.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to say that we will probably be well into the 90's in September...I remember several Halloweens that were so hot that the girls didn't want to wear their costumes.
DeleteNothing quite like a dip in the pool when the temps are in the tripple digits , but like you say it can be an expensive luxury, especially when not used to much.
ReplyDeleteI really feel for you all down in the valley. I has been warm up here in the mountains, but no where near that of the valleys.
ReplyDeleteStay cool.
