Ok, it's 11:29 here in dayton, ohio and I've just returned from hose-watering my yard stuff--mostly hosta but some roses, geraniums, petunias, lavendar, pumpkin and one volunteer tomato--not an arduous task by any means. I am all sweaty and it's so brutally hot and dry out there that I am as much a prisoner in my home as if it were 40 below with drifting snow. THIS IS MISERABLE! I do not recall summers being like this when I was a kid. You could actually go outside and play back then, now it's too hot. It's like some alien world out there!
