Well, it's been 108 degrees the last two days. Not every day is good to go outside.

As always, I have been hiking.

There is no getting out and enjoying anything in this heat.

We've had a summer of rains and thunderstorms to begin with and now extreme heat (extreme for us here is 27C plus). My 17.5 acres is now a rainforest with extra swamps and bogs. With all the rain and muddy grounds it was impossible to mow, and you don't really want to mow now when there's a chance of heat stroke. Most of us here don't have AC so when it gets hot it's a hassle trying to get buildings cool enough. When we had the heavy rains, many people had flooded basements. And, we haven't even mentioned the bugs. I'm a walking mass of mosquito bites. I hate bug spray so I have to cover up while outside in the heat, and the skeeters still get me!!! Even if I use bug spray they would still find the one spot that's missed. I do much better in the winter, honestly.

I am more of an autumn person, with the cooler temperatures that are more invigorating, and the fall colors.

Not a fan of Summer. I'm looking forward to Fall .

Well we still have bloody horrible winter here. At the moment it is foggy as sh....t and it is cold too. Please, please spring hurry up.

Pandemic ... but I'm doing the Best I can ☺

It is unseasonably cool in eastern Nebraska right now, this morning I went for a 1.66 mile walk. First time in weeks that I have been awake in the cool part of the day and that the "cool" part of the day was cool enough to take a long walk in.

Gorgeous pics! where were these taken?

It has been in the 90's with humidity, I swear at 1000%. Just breathing is difficult!

Lovely pics, thanks for sharing!

I'm one that would want summer forever. This year it will be gone and I still have a few things I did not get done.

We're having a hot and humid summer in Quebec.

Good pics. I recognize many of those places. Keep a smile on your face and love in your heart.

For you maybe, here in Florida we have had to experience a fucking nightmare of Covid 19 deniers starting with moRon de Santis and a hurricane sweeping the coast as we speak, record thousand numbers of contagions and deaths, particularly the morons that went to bars and beach parties without protection, and a fucking heat wave that doesn't go away. So please, I appreciate the power of positive thinking, but this has been the worst summer ever in Florida and time went by so slowly when you're NOT HAVING FUN!

For us summer doesn't end until October.

If you live in the North country, there's only two more weeks of bug season. And snow season doesn't start for at least four more weeks.So,the last two weeks of August are perfect for camping trips!

Actually, summer isn't even quite half over with. Still a little more than a month and a half remaining.

Well, summer can't end fast enough for me, it's very dry, and it's been 112 + degrees. We are looking to cool down to 108 degrees. Hate the summers here in Vegas.

It's funny... Summer used to be my favorite season when I was younger. Now it is all the other 3! Living in the woods I prefer autumn days and the smell of leaves. (Even though I need to blow or rake them!) Also the winter snow and having a big fire in the fireplace while watching it come down. Spring is great watching all the new life come out.

Anymore... Summer means heat, tall weeds by the river, chiggers and ticks... And it's much harder for me to do my blacksmithing. Pounding on hot steel when it is 100 degrees with 90% humidity takes it out of me!
