Heat Wave, Day 8

The south wind really kicked in today, so we have a feeling this will be last day of the heat wave. A cool front is predicted to come through tonight or tomorrow morning. No storms materialized today, but hopefully it rains tonight, since Dave finally mowed the lawn. Everyone's lawns have really been burning out up here, but we were smart and decided not to do anything about the clover field we had growing in the yard. We did water a bit, but the long grass and clover really protected the lawn and we are about the only property in the area with green grass. You can see the difference with the first swath of mowing by the garage.

So what to do after weeding and mowing on a hot, windy day? We took a ride in the PT Cruiser Convertible around Schroon Lake, instead of taking the Aprilia motorcycle. If a shower did happen to go overhead, we could just put the top back up. We stopped at the swimming hole in Horicon on the Schroon River and this water is warm already! There was very little current running, so we lounged in the water to cool off for awhile.

Now our swimming is probably done for awhile as we head back home so that Dave can get two large cysts removed by a surgeon. We are so glad that we have been in the water so much lately!
