Don, it's cooled off up here; only got to 99 the first and second, and only 98 today.

We are trying to get the MH ready to leave Monday to the Pacific to see Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon but have hit triple digits again hear but Monday is to be high of 70. I sure do not miss the TX heat and lack of rain after 4 years in Abilene. It will be cooler when we come back by TX in Oct.

65* degrees here this morning:thumbsup: I am going to put the water to the grass while it's cool, hopefully I can get some growth before it goes dormant. I like to leave my Bermuda a little tall for winter, then give it a "buzz" in March.

Now if we could get some rain!!

Only got down to 71 here, but I just came in from watering the yard since daylight.

Big wildfires near Bastrop on the Northeast side. Wind blowing 30+mph from the Northnorthwest.
Mikem and Bernice, y'all keep a watchful eye out! I saw from hwy 290 a fire looking like it was near 21 and Old potato road.

All next week it's only supposed to get into the 80's. I can't believe how quickly it's cooling off after how hot it's been. I never thought I'd get used to 105 degrees, but now that it's only in the 90s, I've been so happy at how cool it was. I'm almost nervous about what the 80's will feel like!!!!

I hope we don't end up with a brutal winter.

The fires near Bastrop have taken out over 300 homes and 14000 acres according to the latest news. My daughter has been told by the Home Depot manager that 7 of their coworkers have lost their homes to the fire so far today.

I have a cousin in the evacuated areas we have not heard from and the fires are being reported as still out of control and uncontained. It is heading toward one of the larger subdivisions in the area now.
