We are currently going through a heatwave on the Eastern side of the U.S. It happens to be sweltering hot down South. By mid-afternoon yesterday the thermometer upstairs in our home read over 86 degrees... INSIDE!! (and we have central air!) Our airconditioner is obviously struggling to keep up. Weather is amazing to me.
Usually it is hard to keep the kids from going outside, but right now they can only stand it if the sprinkler is on (and we are on water restriction). The funny thing is that this morning (at 6:00 a.m. because it is so bright, who can sleep!) I was out watering our vegetables, talking to God, and contemplating all the good aspects of the heatwave.
A few things I have learned from the heatwave and life on water restrictions....
*You wash much less laundry. (yipee!)
*No one complains about nighttime thunderstorms.
*Towels and jeans can dry faster hanging on the porch railing, than the delicates in the dryer.
*If you don't wash the car...no one judges you about it.
*You meet more neighbors while out watering plants in the yard.
*Fresh summer squash is wonderful.
*If you set the sprinkler next to the swingset...life is grand.
I'm sure there are more, but I've got to go get the jeans off the back porch.
Be blessed, use your sunscreen and look for the postive in life!
