so hot

It's unbearably hot, and I have to mow at least two days out of every week, and I think by the end of those days that it's literally going to kill me By the time I stop, the weather people tells me it's a heat index of 95 or so. Old people shouldn't be pushing mowers around on hills in such conditions!

Today, realizing any headway I make on the days it is not raining and I'm not mowing will be slow indeed, I used off-brand Round-Up on some weeds. I never thought I'd do that, ever! And yet the weeds--some of which were poison ivy--were just taking too much of the "cooler" time I have left.

I'd love to have all gardens. I'll happily weed once they are rehabbed and mulched. But the lawn and me, we're gonna have problems.
