Can you believe it's the end of July already? Time keeps flying by. I am glad that one of our two hottest months is coming to a close. Now if we can just survive August...
I'm actually grateful it's only been in the high 90's lately, not over 100 like a couple weeks ago. Still, all the grass is yellow or brown -- it crunches when you walk on it -- and I can hear locusts singing their rhythmic song. Funny how that sound is connected in my mind with heat.
Texas has a lot of problems with the foundations of houses. It's partially because of the drought and heat conditions and partially because of the layer of clay under the soil. Our house seems to be okay, but we may have another leak somewhere around our pool. Water has been disappearing from the pool faster than usual, but unfortunately, Steve's thorough inspection yesterday didn't turn up anything obvious. Might be time to call in the professionals.
At least the trees are still green. And thank God for air conditioning.

It's been hot and humid in El Paso for the past month and I'm tired of it too. Our 'swamp' coolers don't work quite as well when it's humid.
We spend as much time as we can in Tuesday morning or Albertson's because of the A/C...... :-) Not really!
Amen to the AC! I can vouch for the terrible looking grass and humid weather!!!!!
IT'S SO AWFUL!!!!!!!! Come on Fall!
XOXOXOXOXO!
Its so hot we all spend too much time watching TV. If you're outside, you have to be in water. Hope the pool leak gets resolved quickly and easily!
Ah, air conditioning. Yet another thing that the Brits don't quite 'get' yet.
Wish they would...
You say locust, and I say cicada...she drives a hybrid and I've got a Rover. Are we all from the same family? ;) --your energy inefficient sister (well, other than the horrendous mpg car thing, I am really a tree hugger)
