A Tiny Break From The Heat
So thanks to global warming, our summers which used to get maybe 1 day over 100 now rage at a consistent 99-105 degrees for all of July and August, which makes the lace merino travel knitting project a spectacularly poor choice. Today we're getting a tiny break from the heat--all the way down to 86--but will be back to 101 shortly. Luckily, we took the escalating heat into consideration when we moved, so our house has lots of trees and shade, so it's easier than at the old house. We're close enough to the water table that our trees are SUPER healthy, and I can have shade plants, like my new hellebores, which even have nice leaves in the worst of the summer. Theoretically, they will flower in January or February, but we have such strange winters, that could vary. But it's something not being baked into oblivion by extreme heat. Yay! Venus is becoming my most dedicated sewing companion, but when she's too hot, sinks are goo...
