Yesterday temps here reached just over 92 degrees it was a scorcher even stepping out to the small brick front walk and loose stone lane the heat rose like opening an oven door. Yes we are country enough to not have paved areas, we are earth friendly allow rain to permeate driving and walking surfaces. Normally there is little heat from these areas placed loosely on the soil, as surrounding woods over power them, but yesterday you could of fried an egg on the car parked in shaded. Heat hit me in the face the moment you opened the door, enveloping me in a breathless blanket that seemed to lack oxygen. Heat which
has taken over 3/4 of the U.S. has that quickly permeated even cool mountain woods. Grass is starting to brown on it's edges and the garden which was watered the night before looked as if it hadn't seen a drink in weeks. This is mild so far as the next three days are nitching to 105 degrees which is nearly unheard of here in the Northeast even in major cities made of concrete.
I'm talking to the plant and mineral spirits telling them to conserve their moisture and we'll drink them nightly what we can when the sun goes down, as even he woods which had received flooding rains are beginning to dry hard. In 46years on the same place I've never seen this kind of heat. Also talking to the rain god asking for just a small shower (we won't be greedy) envisioning just enough to quench the parched clay soil keeping all lush and green during in this uncommon weather.

I want to first thank you for your reply last month.
Also wanted to put in my 2 cents about the climate. I believe the climate scientists. I believe climate change is mad-made through anthropogenic gases.
Lately I've thought more and more of how climate change could be a catalyst for change in the world. I mean when plants, animals, and people start dieing off in large numbers due to extreme weather won't alarm bells sound within humanity and maybe trigger an awakening.
