It's July in Oklahoma, so I've gone into my summer hibernation. Today's high is supposed to reach 106 F with an evening low of 80 F. This type of heat began in June, we set a record number of days at or above 100 F for the month. July hasn't had a day below that 100 mark, and the extended 10 day forecast doesn't have it changing anytime soon. Added to the high heat is no rain, and let my tell you it's miserable here!I don't like heat...I was born up North and I prefer cold weather to the hot, so I usually hibernate in the summer instead of the winter. It helps that the kids don't have to go to school like they do in the winter so I am not forced out of the house everyday. I usually begin my summer hibernation in June, but having an extended baseball season and swim lessons and running my Oldest to his volunteer time at the library has pushed it back to July.
July is actually my least favorite month of the year...mostly because of the heat. My theory about the summer months is: June isn't so bad, I'm usually too busy to notice the heat; July is awful, because it's hot with no end in sight; and August (although hotter than July) is a relief, because I know the temperatures are going to peak and start falling toward...FALL (probably my favoritist season of all!)
Anyway...wherever you are I hope you're staying cool!
