“It’s hotter than a well-diggers arse!”
Yep, my Grandfather could sling out some Southernisms
quicker than most of us could even formulate a sentence.
He had a few other “it’s hotter than…” expressions but the
above was one of the “cleanest” ones. 😉
I am pretty sure that he would say that about today.
Here on the coast of NC, they are predicting
115 degrees with the heat index.
I heard the Devil called and wants his temperatures back.
🙂
So its a stay inside and work on some projects you’ve been
putting off kinda day, because you’ve been in the yard enjoying
the past few months of perfect NC weather.
sigh
Days like this are good for only one thing…
Sun Tea.
A glass container, water and Luzianne tea bags.
No true Southerner would get caught with Lipton in their cupboards. 🙂
It makes the BEST tea, hands down!
Tea, AC and maybe I’ll download the new Linda Howard book
on my new Nook Color.
Sounds like the perfect day to me… even if it is baking outside.
Praying for the poor families and firefighters and all the
Heros fighting the fires in Colorado.
We have a lot of friends living there.

So hot here, too. I have been inside painting. Now it is too hot for that, too. AC having a hard time cooling this house when it is this hot.
Stay cool!
