...and it's been horrendously hot for the past two weeks. Prior to these hot weeks, there was very little rain. Everything
is very dry.

I got into my car yesterday, and the digital temperature reading was 110. That's outside - not inside - of the car. It's crazy!!!
All you can do is stay inside or go to the pool. My husband and I walked the dog around the block today and it was hard to breath. The heat is just suffocating!

It's been unbearably hot like this for 2 weeks and counting.
