Like in your area about 80 degrees are normal, but not higher! And it's also very dry with extreme fire danger.

We soaked it up. <br /><br />Some forest fires have popped up to the south of us and is creating cloud cover. A good result from a bad situation.<br /><br />I don't mind sunny days, I just wish they'd stay about 80 degrees and no higher.

Death Valley in California, now they see crazy high temperatures, but Oregon doesn't usually.<br /><br />The highest it reached under the eaves was 123.8˚F just after 5 pm, then it started to go down. In the shade the highest we saw was 103. Others were reporting the apps on their phone showing 108.<br /><br />Drinking hot tea this morning and I am sure lots of water today.

But I am with you on the hibernating. We do have two tiny window a/c units, we just never put them in the windows. We hate the noise and they block out so much light. We do put a fan in the bedroom window when we go to bed which blows the cool night air into the room. Darn chilly by morning, which is nice.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-43105455367074705212015-07-31T07:59:15.847-07:002015-07-31T07:59:15.847-07:00This would be it.
