Dear friends,
Well, I guess it’s going to get hot this weekend. When I looked at the forecast for the next few days, I saw that temps over 100 are predicted! Yikes! I’m a little concerned about a possible power outage. Personally, I’d rather dig my way out of a snowstorm than sweat it out in a heatwave.
I’m sure we’ll all comment on how hot it is as the temperatures rise these next few days.
Just for fun, I found a few supposedly common Southern phrases about the summer heat (Penny, Evelyn, and Hal probably have a few more they could share.):
It’s like walking through soup out here.
It’s hot as all get out.
Hot as the hinges on the gates of Hades.
Hotter than Georgia asphalt.
It’s so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk.
It’s hotter than blue blazes.
It’s not the heat – it’s the humidity.
And then there’s the more eloquent quote by Jane Austen: “What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance.”
In all seriousness, this is dangerous weather folks. One good way we can love our neighbor is by checking-in on a friend, someone from church, someone you know who lives alone, or someone sitting on the sidewalk outside a store. Ask how they’re doing. Try using one of the phrases above in your conversation and see what they say.
Be careful and take good care of yourself! If you need anything, don’t be too shy to ask for help!
Blessings and peace,
Karen+
