On the road before 6 am again. And it was hot by 9. All that intense heat that the Midwest had a week ago we got this week and now we have passed it on to the eastern seaboard so lots of you should know what I’ve been talking about. Brutal heat and humidity.
Another great back country road ride today. Went past a mushroom farm that is no longer in business after having been infected with some mushroom disease. Had been in the family for decades and forced to to shut down after runnimg out of money battling the disease. Really sad. I hope you can make the picture bigger. There were at least 37 bays (each pointed roofline was a bay with its own people door and two stories high.) That’s a lot of mushrooms. The buildings sit empty now and it is so sad to see something that was so profitable be shut down because of something out of control. I just feel for the family.
Another brutally hot day so we stayed inside, read books, played games and tried not to think about how hot it was outside. It hit 103.6 degrees again today and tomorrow is supposed to be hotter, then cool off for the weekend. I sure hope so.
I did weed for a few minutes when we got home and Ed watered his lawn after mowing but, otherwise, we hibernated. And why he picked today to mow was beyond me. His yard is very small but his shirt was soaked when he came in. Silly guy.
