We hit 100 today, with single-digit humidity -- hot and dry enough to sting . Phoenix got 110!

I love your desert photos. But ooh yikes, that's hot weather.

Right now a desert seems quite attractive. I don't reckon to suffer from hayfever, but there is just so much pollen in the air at the moment from the trees behind the house, that it's irritating my sinuses and making my eyes feel hot and sticky.

But I know that I'd get tired of that heat after 3 days max!

Yes, it's punching through the 100's these days up here.

But it's not too terribly bad. I was outside doing yard work. The flies were a lot more bothersome than the heat.
