The Sun is shining so bright this morning.....I see a HOT day ahead.
Today's topic....The Texas heat!
I'm not sure, but it sure seems that Texas has a different definition for HOT. Around here, HOT means that your mascara melts before you even make it to church! For real...!!!
The first day of Summer was this past week, but in our area, you simple know it is officially summer when the weather app gives up. No forecasts, no alerts, just a sun icon that looks angry and a note that reads, "Good luck darling."
I often wonder why in the world we have leather car seats. I mean, when the heat is so extreme, those car seats will burn your bottom end. I will admit, I've done a few dances in those seats when I first sit down. Even my pot plants are beginning to say, "Shug we love you, but this ain't working...if you don't move us to the shade, then we are out of here."
What is our survival plan? Tall glasses of iced tea! A big tall glass of tea, filled to the rim with ice, is tops on the survival list. It makes a difference between having a heat induced breakdown, and the first sip saying "I'm okay..I'm going to make it now." Other survival needs.???...ceiling fans, lights turned off, and my favorite...NO COOKING in the kitchen! Of course, the air conditioning needs to be turned down to about 65 degrees.
Hope you all stay cool today....enjoy your nice Summer breezes and when you grab those little light weight blankets to keep yourself comfortable.....think of the Texas heat, and you will quickly warm up.
Big hugs to Y'all...
Shug 🔥
PS: I will not be posting tomorrow. Sam and I heading to Dallas this afternoon. He has a 8:30 AM doctor's appointment with the new Oncologist at Southwestern Medical.
Keeping you both in prayer...and laughing over the mascara, I have since learned, less is best concerning makeup here in Florida, in the summer--ok, after April. LOL--OH I still wear makeup, but not as much, just a dab here and there. And our ac is set at 75*--certainly don't want a huge electric bill. Have a beautiful Sunday my friend.
ReplyDeletethe same with our summer, above 90*F everyday.....and humid too...
ReplyDeletegood luck for you and your husband trip ... hope, everything goes well ....
I know you're going to think I'm crazy, but I'm a little bit envious of your hot weather. We live at the beach, but for 9 out of the 12 months it's cold, snowy, rainy or all of the above!! We're having a heat wave now and I'm ecstatic! We are in the pool or at the beach all day and night. Of course, like I said, it's short lived...and by next weekend I'll be wearing socks again instead of flip flops! Haha!! Good luck tomorrow.
ReplyDeletePrayers for the trip and the visit tomorrow. love that dog and the fan. Its so hot in our back yard I can't go out side except long enough for Beau to pee. the last few days, our 3 pm potty break says 100 or 102 on the fence, the temp on weather app says 99 but ours has no shade with the pine tree gone. the AC runs pretty much 24/7 from now to November
ReplyDeleteWould anyone live in Texas if air conditioning hadn't been invented?
ReplyDeleteLovely to have iced 🧊 tea. I love the illustrations. Stay safe and hydrated.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for your appointment tomorrow with the new doc. Praying for answers and a doctor that truly listens and explains. Praying for safe travels and that the Lords words will be a breath of fresh cool air.
ReplyDeleteHot is Hot to me !!!
I am so grateful for our AC. When we lived about 10 miles from San Francisco right on the coast, there was no need for AC. We had the fog and drizzle so often.
Ummm, ice tea... we devour it nearly year around. Its the best "Cooler-off-er" Ever !
Straight black tea with lemon is our go to flavor.
(((hugs)))
Stay cool and Drink Up ...

Oh Shug, summer has started here too, but it hasn't been too warm, and this morning it was cool and I needed to put a sweater on. I know, how can that be? But it will get warmer in the months of July and August I'm sure, but we don't have the humidity, which makes all the difference I hear. I hope Sam's appt. goes well, and that he gets answers to everything he needs. Also, I love your Header, it's elegant. I want that fuchsia couch! Your analogies crack me up with the mascara, leather car seats, and plants. Keep drinking that cold iced tea. Try to stay cool, Shug, and this was such a delightful blog post. You have a way with words, my dear. ; )

Guess what? It's even hot in Michigan! Right now it's 90 degrees and we are predicted to be in the 100's this week. And of all things, it's VBS week at our church.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on leather seats, I've done that dance too. :)
Praying for you and Sam tomorrow.
Praying that all goes well with Sam's appointment, Shug. Stay safe and cool!
ReplyDeleteLet me know about the appointment, I will be waiting to read the details. Still praying! Shug, you have outdone yourself with your header! it is gorgeous! the Victorian couch and matching flowers are such a gorgeous pop of color! It is to be 100 here all week!!!!
ReplyDeletePrayers that the trip to the oncologist goes well, and gratitude for your AC!
ReplyDeleteThat iced tea looks so delicious. Love iced tea. Good luck to Sam tomorrow. We here in GA are having the same heat. You keep your house at 65 - I would like that, but my hubby is always so dang cold! lol
ReplyDeletePraying all goes well for the Doctor appointment tomorrow. And yes, it's hot here too in Florida, along with high humidity. We look forward to those afternoon pop up thunderstorms to kind of cool things down one degree, but then it feel like a steam bath afterwards. So thankful for central AC and a great ice-maker in the freezer so we can always have iced tea or water. I love that picture of the doggy with the fan. I feel like that sometimes, even with the AC. Take care and try to stay cool my friend!
ReplyDeleteHubby and I went out for a walk by 8 am and were home by 9. It was already too hot for me. For some reason, my car's leather seats aren't too bad, but I still keep a towel in the car to sit on just in case.
ReplyDeleteWe are to have temps in the 90s this week...Texas has such a big blue sky that I can understand why it would be so hot when the temps are up.
ReplyDeleteWill be praying for Sam's appointment tomorrow morning. HE's got this, my friend. xx
We've moved into our heat wave today.
ReplyDeleteHope everything goes well at Sam's appointment
This reminds me of having lived (endured?) in both Abilene and Phoenix. Not for the faint of heart, for sure. Prayers lifting for safe travels, good sleep and a good appointment tomorrow morning. Hugs!
