And, just think, there are Seniors who move back to "old man winter"...….like we are planning on doing.
So humid here, a person could cut thru it with a butter knife! Or, like people here would say, "welcome to Florida!". Sure isn't for us anymore.
We've got 58 % humidity today... not good but a whole lot better than it has been this last 6 weeks...
Don't have a bath, just shower. I have soaked me feet in cold water, I have enclosed me feet in a wet towel - temporary relief as there is 'nothing' that can be done to relieve pressure and the result of this treatment is waking through the night with cramp - what a life !
Since most of July, we've been in triple digits, with ultra-low humidity. That's how it is in the Desert in Summertime, boys & girls! Hal
@Don Alaska Despite much development agriculturally, certain plants still cling to the belief that some cold weather is necessary for them. We bought blackberry plants from a lady near here, in the desert, she had a bed of obviously not young or new plants, plenty of canes from previous years, but ours died. She had an apricot tree absolutely loaded with fruit, thousands of them! A green thumb apparently have neither of us. Frank
Said in jest, Frank, but blackberries and other bramble fruits are different than apples, which generally require a chill to produce fruit. Apricots generally do not require that chill. Apples also, even if they get the chill required--not much in "Southern" apples--they will drop their fruit/blossoms if the ambient temp gets too high. That is why Washington state is known for its apples, and Florida is not, although some Southern-types may grow in northern Florida.
Apple orchards disappeared during the Depression of the 1930's because growers couldn't afford to have water pumped up to their orchards. Hal
THAT is why we don't live in Apple Valley! But, then again, that heat could be better than the heat and HUMIDITY we get here.
