Hot in the desert

Hi Friends,

It's not even summer yet, but it's really hot. The past few days in Carlsbad we have reached triple digits. In fact, according to the news last night, Carlsbad broke a record with the thermometer reaching 111 (no, my keyboard didn't stick it was - one hundred and eleven degrees)!!!! Yes, it's a dry heat, but hot is hot and trust me it's damn hot.

We got up at 5AM yesterday (my body clock seems to be on EDT) and got our chores done early in the day. At lunchtime we went for a quick dip in the pool. The water keeps getting warmer each day I swim. Used plenty of sunscreen on everything except my scap - yup, little sore when I brushed my hair out later. Next time I wear a hat IN the pool!

Living in an RV in the middle of a desert it's not easy to stay cool. Not a lot of trees out here to provide shade. Instead, we have all the windows covered with material to reflect the sun and keep the heat out. Even with that done, the AC seems to run from about 9AM until sundown. The cats don't like their windows covered, but Shadow (our long haired cat) was rather warm yesterday in the heat of the afternoon. Today it's cooler - only supposed to be 104 degrees! LOL

Think cool thoughts...
