I didn't make it outside much today...the humidity was rediculous! Here are the flowers from the hostas.

26 May 2010: Wicked Hot!

Another wicked scowchah (scorcher for you non New Englanders) out there today! It got into the 90s - what happened to spring! My poor flowers are wilting in this heat!

25 May 2010: It's Getting Hot Out Here

It was snowing two and half weeks ago - it was 89 today! Summer has arrived and the phlox is growing like crazy!

26 February 2010: Hot, Cold and Extinct

Snowmageddon stranded us in NYC for an extra day! We enjoyed the extra time we had in the city by visiting the Natural History Museum and building some mini snow people! Building the snow people was so fun both because I felt like a kid again (with these aches and pains since I turned 40 that is saying a lot) and it was so amazing to watch the reactions of the people who walked by us in the park. Everyone, old and young, loved the little snow family. Several people stopped to take pictures of our creations (you can see one of them taking their own picture while protecting herself with an umbrella). The little kids quickly said they wanted to make some too (sorry to those parents). We were happy and sad when we went back through the park several hours later. Our snow family was no longer standing - I don't know if they were murdered by vandals or poor construction by the help. However, we did notice several other snow people have been erected in various states and sizes throughout the park. We were happy to see that we were an inspiration to some!

We also went into the Museum of Natural History. We went in the the butterfly house. It was so hot in there especially when coming from snowmageddon. We had on turtlenecks, sweaters, fleece. I was a bit overheated by the time we left our new butterfly friends. Luckily nothing else was "alive" in the museum but then again, we were NOT there at night!

You expected another cold weather picture...sorry to disappoint. It is FRIGID in central NY and pretty much in most of the U.S. (except Southern CA of course). The high today in Jamesville, NY is supposed to be 4 degrees! Are you kidding me?!?! I am really glad I didn't make that trip to Minneapolis today where it is -25 degrees! So to add a touch of heat to the blog, the dried hot peppers came out of hiding from their little container. These are actually peppers I grew in the garden 2 years ago and they have been drying ever since. Luckily I don't have to go out anywhere today and my heat is working so I think I will stay put and get some work done!
