Somewhere far away from here

If you haven't been paying attention or just plain know nothing about Oklahoma weather, is is balls hot here these days. Humidity in the summer here is just silly high, and with the heat is is plain stifling. This week we are getting a much needed reprieve from the triple digits and only maxing out at 95 or 96, this time of year this settles for a cold front.

Why anyone knowing this would plan a out door event on black top for this time of year is beyond me. None the less D-Fest is quickly approaching. As the mercury rises I find my self to be more and more reluctant to spend 4 days giving my self heat stress.

We took advantage of the lower temps (87F) this weekend by helping clean out my parents creek. Tractor tires have now been removed, god were they heavy. Afterwards the cats got a bath, and I took some time for myself to enjoy the hammock. So peaceful, so needed.

Harvest time is kicking in Porter peaches abound. The Cherokee purples are ripe for the picking - it is officially summer I have had 2 Bacon Tomato sandwiches with home grown tomatoes.. yummy. The food in the summer I swear is the only reason to stay for the summer - definitely not the weather.

Last week Grant managed to collect another concussion - for those of you at home keeping count this makes 5. The doctors checked him out, all is good there. Now it is off to the cardiologist to at last do something about this blood pressure issue.

Otherwise things are going well with us. Working, cooking, helping Grandma, and trying to stay cool while doing all of the above. Typical Oklahoma summer. I for one cannot wait for the fall.
