Hell Couldn't Be Hotter Than This...

I'm pretty sure. It is hotter than blazes here in northern Arkansas already and it's only June. I'm hoping this heat isn't this bad all the way through September now. It was only a few days ago that it was still cool and raining. Now things are already starting to turn brown. Sheesh.

This kind of heat brings forth some things we can do to try to keep the air quality a little better:
*Fill your gas tank in the early mornings or evenings.
*Do the same mowing your lawn.
*Remember to keep your plants watered, and water them in the morning as well. Evening's are ok, but increase the chance for fungus.
*Try to turn your thermostat up, or program it for a higher temp when you're not home.

Drink plenty of water and stay cool!
Update on the cardinal situation: We put the screens up on the windows (after cleaning everything up, of course). So far, no sign of Mr. Bird. Hopefully, he's gone on to help perpetuate his species, but we'll see.
