I have my work cut out for me. It's been viciously hot the past few weeks, setting new records for high temperatures. One day, we surpassed 115 degrees F. here, a new all-time high. That's not the kind of records we really want to break!
In the meantime, we've laid low during the day, opting instead to remain indoors and cool. Because of that, we've really fallen behind on our outside chores and projects.
I had hoped by now to have a feed/garden tool shed built. We started it, but didn't get very far on it. We still have to build more rabbit hutches and quail coops if we are going to be able to live more self-sufficiently throughout the winter.
The gardens have really suffered with the heat, too. My tomato plats practically fried with me not having gotten a single fruit from them. I don't think even a raleigh business lawyer could find compensation for the damage this unusually hot weather has wrought.
