Last Monday the weather was unseasonably cool with scattered showers and heavy wind. Today we will be reaching temperatures of 100 degrees with threats of potential danger from the heat. Here in Pennsylvania we go through one extreme to another, without much time in between to adjust.
Because of all the rain and mixed temperatures my garden isn't doing the best it should. I was late in planting but there seems to be life happening with the pepper plants. No sign of tomatoes yet and the green bean plants have a ton of chew marks and no sign of harvest.
I've never been a green thumb but seem to do well with gardening so I hope to see plenty of life soon. I also hope to see consistency in weather.
I've always been a lover of summer and the heat was never a big deal to me but as I'm getting older it's starting to become a little difficult. Also, with my genetic disorder of constant skin cancer it's best to stay indoors, anyway.
Last week my kids had fun at church camp and came back with a strong desire to serve the Lord. It warms my heart to see the love they have for God. I just pray that they continue to hold Him close, especially as they navigate through school and life.
If you're in an area that's experiencing this extreme heat I hope you find ways to keep cool. Crank up the a/c and drink plenty of water.
I'll leave you with a picture of my daylillies.
Yep. I am also avoiding the sun. I have no...and I mean no... ability to manage a successful garden. Madison and Steve planted our little garden. I will let you know how it goes! Stay cool, my friend.
