[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 265606, member: 3444"] We've had 100 degree temps for the past few days down south here. It's supposed to start cooling today... about 10 degrees a day so that by Friday we're back to the low 70's. I am NOT ready for this kind of heat. It's brought out every conceivable bug, too. We must have a couple thousand hoverflies taking refuge in our front porch shade. I didn't know what they were, so decided to look them up online. Apparently, not only do the adults pollinate flowers, but the larva eat aphids (yay!) and other plant svcking bugs, so my feelings towards them have changed! :p Also, our cottonwood has a gazillion ladybugs on it because apparently it is also infested with aphids. Nice to know my yard is such a smorgasboard for insects of one type or another! :p [/QUOTE]
