Back home in Webster its been cooler (lucky you), but we understand its been very hot in Ft. Wayne, so the Hoosiers among us are just as glad to be here and hot, rather than home and very hot.

How hot is it?
We've been watching temperatures back home, as well as our local weather. Here in Utah its been in the 90's, nearing 98 at times, somewhat dependent on the altitude, and whether you are at the bottom of a canyon or at the top of a mesa. (They tell us its actually cooler than usual here in Moab. Yeah for us!) We have been coping by trying to do our walking in the early part of the day, and finding shade whenever possible. They recommend drinking a lot of water, so we've been trying our best to keep hydrated. When we went rafting on the Colorado it was cooler there than in the park in the afternoon. Getting wet helped. :) There often seems to be a wonderful breeze on top of the mesas and that helps a lot too. We ran the air conditioner last night and slept very well.

It was no Colorado River, but I got to go kayaking yesterday evening. So nice to be on the water again!
ReplyDeleteZak...so that's where you (and Matt?) were...his mom called us past 10 pm wondering...
ReplyDeleteIt has been %$^%#%$!@@^* hot here all last week, but today we actually have the windows open, and there is a good breeze. Hooray!! High tomorrow is only 69! Go figure. We need rain desperately.
Miriam - your tomatoes are going WILD! You will be surprised at them - Dad has been watering the garden, otherwise the plants would just be crisp.
G wants to go out rafting, er, biking. See ya. Love, Mom
The weather here has been too wet this last week or so. The ground is all spongey, and we have more rain in the forecast for the rest of the week. Plus too-cool temps. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI got another postcard! :) I love getting real mail.
Madeline, thanks for the postcard I got yesterday! When are you guys going to visit South Dakota? You're only going to be 10 miles from a couple of my Seminary brothers from Custer, and will probably go right by another in Rapid City.
