melissatwa's Journal, 28 Jun 21

You know it is hot when the roses are burning, door handles inside are toasty to the touch, toilet seat feels heated... 109 today in our town. Western Washington is not used to this! Even the cats are too hot! I am happy I had the day off!

I know the flowers aren't pretty. I'm sad to see them this way, but in a while I'll have flowers again. So many things in life... Like reshaping our bodies takes patience. There are set backs and ugly days. Life takes it toll and we just keep trudging!

Those temps are unreal! We got in the upper 80's today, but overall it wasn't too bad. I got hot cause I was outside gardening but had the nice, cool air-conditioning to escape to afterwards.

Yeah, same with my lilies. I don't even want to check on my tomato plants. Supposed to top out at 118 tomorrow. There are talks of possible rolling black outs. Stay safe!

We are OK, Becky. We have an AC in one bedroom which has held the temperatures at about 85. It feels cool and we can congregate in there when it is too hot. The cats, a crested gecko and a daughter's rat have all been crowded together in there sharing our some cool air! 👍😀

This is the hottest day on record in Seattle area... Not for June or this day of the year... Hottest day ever since they started recording. I'm glad you got some work done on your beautiful property! 😁

Thank you, suereichert! It will be cooler tomorrow! Sk, isn't it a little heartbreaking? I do have a lot of bud coming that will be fine, but some of my bushes will take a good many weeks to recover and bloom again.

Rosie, that is insane heat!! Where are you. I really hope your power stays on consistently. It is really dangerous at that temperature.

Thank you, dear Shir! And, sk, I know you guys have it even worse down where you are. And... I know you don't like it really warm let alone hot like this. I don't mind hot... Just not keen on THIS hot! 😁

Melissa here on the East Coast we are also in a heat wave. Yesterday was 106. I thought I was going to die. Very unusual for us and most people cannot handle it, including me. I must say though it was a NSV of sorts. I felt much cooler than I did 40+ pounds ago in these temperatures. ❤️‍🔥

Poor hot furry miaowers. So pretty though. Do your cats shed their coats and look thinner over the summer?

Prayers for a cooler Tuesday for everyone up there. Love the cat pic.

106 in Knappa (Astoria) during the heat wave. We had four fans going in the living room as we don’t have air conditioning. Portland was 114 yesterday. Insanity! Back in the 70’s today 😅
