HEAT.............

It seems as though, here in NE Ohio we only have two season...anymore. :- (

I hate to complain but we seem to jump right out of winter right into summer...no in between seasons to help ready us for these extreme temp changes. We've weathered a terrible winter (2010) only to be inundated by 90 temps. :- 6

We go outdoors to work for a while only to run back into the house, for the room that has a window a/c.

The weather forecasters were predicting these blistering temps last week so I methodically sheared all the rabbits. I really hated to loose some promising coats but I'd rather have a live rabbit without a coat than a lovely coat on a dead rabbit. :- { I now have a barn full of naked rabbits! Even with their frozen water-bottles they're still suffering the heat.

This weekend my dulcimer group will perform at Akron's Art Expo at Hardesty Park (1 - 3 pm). Normally we LOVE this event but when it gets this hot the salt from your own sweat irritates your fingertips.

One up side to this heat is the grasses doesn't grown, requiring as much mowing.

We did have a terrible thunderstorm last night, fortunately none of the trees lost any branches. I hope all of you are weathering the temps & storms!
