HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY NEW MONTH and HAPPY NEW MOON!
The new moon (the dark moon) is Monday in the UK/US. It's also Labor Day in the US. That's the unofficial first day of autumn here.
I have no wildlife stories or personal news to impart. I spent the past week sitting on my bed and perspiring. We broke our daily records for high heat and humidity, and I accomplished nothing except watching the corn sweat.
Yes, corn "sweats". When the temps and humidity are this high, the corn takes in and releases water to keep itself cool. A single stalk of corn can release over 4 cups of water per day. An acre of corn can release 4,000 gallons of water in a day. My area has massive corn farms. They all had dense fog full of moisture hanging over the fields. The scene looked apocalyptic.
The poor wildlife were miserable.
I am making a To-Do list for next week, because we are supposed to cool down, and I'll be able to move and breathe. :-)
Everyone have a good week. Hugs and love to you all.
A time of transition for all of you, AQ. I have memories of being in a similar situation. I won't say any more about that, but as ever will be thinking of you.
Thank you ALL for your support & comments. I follow your posts but I am so tired to reply. The phone doesn't stop, always something else to follow up. I know it will improve. My sleep is better - if you can call this an improvement - last night 2 hours sleep while "watching" TV plus 3 more hours in bed! Gloomy day, fog, showers later, Spring has retreated.
AQ, I am also happy for you that you OH has been settled in what seems like a nice place. I hope he will soon "feel at home" in his new surroundings and that you can adjust to your new circumstances.
Thanks to all for news. Always good to hear what everyone else is doing, although I don't post much. Life has changed for me, so still adjusting.
Rosy: I must admit I don't remember your recent posts - I hope the change is progressing ok
Will catch up later. Busy again here.
