I know, I heard it was even way hotter by the lake yesterday with the highs being over 20° above average. Glad you got some relief!
Oh yeah it's so nice inside........62 degrees and cool ! Outside is another story. With the humidity and the total heat index it's 94 degrees........ I've been outside all day but Justice is staying indoors today. Between the heat and the biting horse flies he doesn't get a break. As soon as I let him out 5 minutes later he's at the back door wanting in. Kinda feel bad for him as it's one of our few days to spend a whole entire day playing outside. Suppose to get some strong storms tonight but I hope not too bad because I just stripped the cedar siding to bare wood...........




Also, the grass seed really needs to be kept moist so if you are not watering and/or it's not raining, it might not come up. I know you had no choice with this, but we usually seed in the fall. Did you cover with a mulch or something? When we bought our 10 acres, it was a prairie similar to yours and it took years to bring it under control.......still a work in progress.
) and have probably lost lots of seed too but there is still a lot that has come up over the years! It will take diligence and more seeding and fertilizing to get it growing well. The chopped up left over hay to cover it was a great idea. I've even used dried up, pulverized manure! Pulverized by horse hooves! LOL Just taking stuff from the corral that is almost a peat moss consistency and throwing it over it. And of course we are at the mercy of rain, which we haven't had in about a month! I think there was one day of nice rain but it wasn't much. We are really in a drought and our grass is drying up. It's maddening!
