It’s mid-July. This is usually about the point in the summer when I start wishing for cooler days and fall leaves and eventually (my favorite thing) snow. And, yep, we’re here.
It’s hot.
I’m over it.
I’m ready for a little relief from the 90+ degree heat (Fahrenheit) we’ve been dealing with. Not that hot compared to some places, I know, but pretty much a heatwave here in Virginia.
So, I spent today being a sweaty, grumpy mess, looking at pictures of all the wintry places where we’ve traveled.
Iceland.
Alaska.
Another Iceland. This is the beach I’d like to be sitting on right about now.
I love all the seasons, really, and I don’t think I could live in a place where there’s no variety in the weather. I appreciate that Virginia has a cool, crisp fall, a (sometimes) snowy winter, a temperate spring, and a very summery summer.
I’m just not feeling it right this minute. Which is fine. It just gives me an opportunity to daydream about snowy days. And they’ll be here soon enough.

You complaining ’bout that! Where I live, in peak summer’s, temperature generally rises to 113 degree Fahrenheit! Cool pictures!😂

Oh my gosh, I could not handle that! It can get to about 100 here, and even that is too much for me. I’ve got a friend in Nevada, and she said it was 111 degrees there today. No thank you!

We’ve got like 112.1°F in here(India). Often, monsoon comes in the month of July but this time it’s the heat waves that are dominating.

I just could not handle that. I’m a wimp when it comes to summer heat! I hope you’re finding ways to stay cool!

120 was the norm where I grew up in Texas. I do acknowledge that it was dry and windy, and thus, unlike the feeling of the 90+ here in Mississippi with the humidity and the stillness.

I just couldn’t do it. I like warm weather, but I just get grouchy and miserable when it’s really, really hot. And good point about the humidity and the stillness. It’s definitely the humidity, I think, that makes it so awful. I’ve heard it called “close” here in Virginia when it gets super hot and humid, and I think that’s a good term for it. Like a heavy blanket wrapped around you too tight.

When I first moved here, I asked during the first month how long it took to get used to the humidity. My friend said ‘a while.’ It has been 18 years now…I am still waiting to be used to it. 🙂
