Mini Heat Wave

It has turned off hot the last few days... not as hot nor as long a heat wave as last summer, but 101 yesterday here in Antioch, warmest in the Bay area, and close to that today. We even lost power for about 30 minutes this afternoon. Was supposed to be a couple of hours, but they got the power back on pretty quick. My guess is that it was some sort of fuse or re-closer switch that blew instead of a transformer burning out... at least this time.

It's supposed to cool down to the lower 90s and even back into the 80s over the next few days. I guess we'll see. Those temps are really pretty close to normal around here for this time of year. It just seems hot because it's been cooler than normal in May and early June.

The garden looks pretty good. Beans and especially snap peas won't fair well if it get's too hot, but the tomatoes and squash seem to like the heat. And, of course, grilling is fun, no matter how hot it gets. Those pork chops tonight were really good!!

I guess all this means is that summer is here. Ah... at least it's a dry heat. :-)

I've come to understand that heat is heat; each type has its own set of difficulties. As long as I've got air conditioning, I guess it doesn't matter which type of heat it is!
