Very hot, the man next door is playing his jazz albums very loud, dogs are barking, kids are screaming, motorcycles are roaring and the ice cream truck is jingling down the block.
Hot as the hinges of hell here. The thermometer climbed to 100F today. It's been hot, windy and dry for the last 2 months. In that period of time we've had less than an inch of rain. None predicted either for the near future. Our pond (2 acres) is down 3 feet. Not good for the farmers here. We aren't putting in a garden this year because of the dryness.
