And for a moment, I was beginning to think 2014\u00a0had seen the last of it&#8217;s\u00a0high temps.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The weather this summer has been wonderful. I\u00a0began\u00a0writing this blog at 3:30 in the afternoon on a sunny August day. It&#8217;s the hottest part of the day and it&#8217;s only 85 degrees right now. Last night it dipped into the low 60&#8217;s. A few years ago it seems we were having consecutive 100 degree days lasting for several months. Last summer wasn&#8217;t too bad and was fairly mild compared to the summers before it but this summer has been perfect.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: 8\/25\/14<\/p>\n<p>I wrote the above paragraph on August 13. I must have jinxed things because as of today, August 25, we are entering our 2nd straight week of temps in the upper 90&#8217;s with no relief predicted for the rest of the week. \u00a0This is the hottest it has been all year and for the\u00a0most consecutive days. \u00a0The heat just zaps my energy and all I want to do is nap all afternoon every afternoon. I&#8217;ve become such an old man, I know.<\/p>\n<p>Kris wanted to try her\u00a0hand at gardening this year. She had me\u00a0throw a couple of pallets down in the back yard and planted tomatoes, cucumbers (to make pickles), peppers and squash.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"uff4a96b311\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.icks.org\/data\/ijks\/1482456658_ij_file.pdf\">buying tadalafil online<\/a>  Since you can use almost any mode of payment online, it is easier to buy sitting at home.
