Yes It's Hot

Its the middle of July. It suppose to be hot outside, dontcha think? I love summer and the heat. The temperatures the past couple weeks have been soaring in the upper 90,s. Yesterday it hit 100 degrees. With no movement in the air, no rain in sight, and the smoldering hot asphault road, It felt hotter than lucifers fire pit.

My husband and I both are summer loving people. When we go out to eat, we will choose a restaurant that has a patio. It never fails, the waitresses always make a comment. "Are you sure you want to go out there? It's hot". Then usually sometime during our meal they will check on us and say. "Are yall still ok? Can I bring you some extra water? Are you sure your comfortable?" Most dining patios are covered or have umbrellas. "Yes we are doing just fine". We break more sweat from eating the salsa.

No matter how hot it is, we will do an afternoon walk. We do wait a bit for the sun to start setting. Neighbors will peep out of their doors " yall need water?" Nope, we are alright, thanks. Another neighbor "I dont understand how yall do it". Well, we are not wearing many clothes, there is always shade and our home is never far. People are always telling us to get inside because its to hot out here.

As we settled in for the night, I mentioned to Nick how when we were little, heat was never an issue. Mom made us stay outside regardless. We never complained about how hot it was. There was always a spigot, or a kool aid Mom and you got the best tasting water from a hose pipe.

I looked out the window and noticed the nighbor kids were still playing ball and wrestling around. I motioned for Nick to come look. "See those boys playing outside? They have been outside all day long and they are still alive"! We chuckled at the sarcasm.

Note: All kidding aside, it really is hot in some areas, never leave your children or pets unattended in the heat. Make sure there is water and shade nearby. And for heaven sake never leave them in a hot car.
