Good old law enforcement notice today: Don't bundle your kids in heavy suits and blankets today. Uh yeah. I could feel the sun on my back through my t shirt when I was out pulling greens and giving grain to the birds earlier. Hottest this year yet. Next week we are due for triple digit temps. This coming Thursday I will go see the foot doc about my swollen feet and ankles. Rufus will stay home and be babysat by my hubby. Friday I will take hubby to the office and that time Rufus and Sally will go with me. We will only stop for a short walk but NO sitting in the car and waiting on me. I will grocery shop on Thursday while I am out.

So why would any mom bundle a child in summer temps? Hmmm, maybe the temps are lower up there than down here. I'd be worried if I saw a bundled child in our temps here.

Yikes, so your internet is giving you trouble? I would think that in summer heat any good mom would know better than to swaddle their child, I would think a child could suffer heat stroke.

@rebelann It wasn't the internet. For some reason I was being blocked from typing on this site. Makes me grumpy.

Wow. I can answer you!!! I had to back out and search for My Lot again. Refreshing did not do anything. Hubby says it has to do with some folk's culture- some folks like to swaddle their kids up tight for security.

Triple digits are not good. We are in the 70s today after all of our rain. Stay cool when you can.

@CarolDM I'd love some rain. A car crashed yesterday on the highway and started a small brush fire. I wish the Fourth of July wasn't coming up.

@sallypup I hope nobody was hurt in the crash. The fireworks stands are up here, not a favorite time at all.

Have you injured your feet and ankles? Some people take down swelling by eating cucumbers. I hope you find out what is wrong.

@GardenGerty Good question and no on doing anything to my feet and ankles. I'm not fond of cucumbers but I guess I should give that a try.

Extreme heat is scary for me to handle during the summer.

@deeppizzaguy You live in an area where it gets very hot, right?

@sallypup Lake Charles which is close to south Texas does get very hot in the summer. It is like an oven.

It seems like there isn't going to be a break from the heat and drought in the west. Stay cool and hydrated and make sure Rufus and Sally pups are cool and hydrated as well!

@LindaOhio I hear that by Sunday we'll hit 110. Hubby thinks that is hog wash. I have four cats and two pups to impose the cooler house on. Saia kitty is determined to go outside this very minute.

We just got out of triple digits for a few days and into the 70s again. But the heat is due to return on the weekend.

It's 56F outside right now. Pretty and I will need to wear long sleeves when we go for our morning walk. The temp is only supposed to reach 70F today.
