Heat Kills

The human body can only handle so much. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/13/death-toll-extreme-heat-arizona-county?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR7zt_hUKB86Qzyb7tLNo-VlvZTKJdealg9VQGk9SKEcd0l78r3-isOZZcX-Tg_aem_tJp32Wbz6lNluRIimunzWg And Arizona is a place typically known for being hot. People living there generally know how to deal with the heat and the majority have air conditioning. But heat like what is now being experienced is more dangerous. Not just for humans. Animals and plants alsoContinueContinue reading “Heat Kills”

They are here!

A bunch of stuff. Of course. I woke up with an awful headache this morning. A migraine, not a hangover mind you. I was at work, so I was out having fun. Ha. But I got home and was greeted by blazing sun and warmth. And chickens. Yes, the chickens had just arrived as IContinueContinue reading “They are here!”

Sun out, frost in.

That’s the way of winter here. If it’s clear, you get the cold mornings. The frosts. Not Midwest or mountain cold, but you’ll get ice on the windshield and frozen water buckets, which usually thaws by afternoon. Clouds usually moderate the winter temperature here. Which is another reason I chose this area. I’ve lived inContinueContinue reading “Sun out, frost in.”
