Hot Weather

I know it is July and Iowa is hot in July.  However, I hate the hot weather.  It is 91 and over 100 indices so feels even more hot.  Hot weather is usually good for the corn but it needs more rain to go along with it.  We haven't been getting enough rain.  Only 1/4 inch Saturday.  The lawns are drying up already.  They say we are going back into drought conditions again.  That isn't good.  The beans look so good right now.  I have heard they need a certain amount of rain in August so hope we get it.  The corn is getting so tall.  You have to watch it on corners as you can't always see other traffic.

It is Hot Again!

It is over 80 in the house and we have all the windows open. The problem is that there is not a whisper of a breeze outside. I decided I had it and shut all the windows and turned on the air conditioner. That's what we have it for and I want to use it. It won't take long and it will be livable in here again. Holly is panting something awful and she doesn't seem to take the heat like she did when she was younger. She is going to be 12 years old on the 25th. I hate to see her growing that old. But we are growing old with her :0)

Hot Weather Really Helps the Corn & Beans

We are having the really hot summer weather. It has been nearly 90 for days. They say if you go out at night you can hear the corn grow. My husband says when they were kids they could hear it on the farm at night. It has really gotten tall now and so have the beans. Everything is so pretty and green. However, the corn makes for a great deal of humidity in our state.
