After all my complaining, we have a mini-heat wave

It seriously could have waited until I was done building the garden shed. Edmonton is predicted to get to 31 today... my back says it will be hotter than that even.
Frickin' scorching out there already.
Building a garden shed....Are you using a kit from Revy's or Home Depot, or are you building from scratch? I'm building a shed myself....just a small one....8 feet by 6 feet. Should be ready to put the roof on by Wednesday. I had to go out of town this weekend or it would be ready now.
We had an old metal shed that was losing it's battle with rust and the elements and it had to be replaced.
BTW, it's 28 degrees right now according to my $2 dollar thermometer...:smile:
Geez.... if I'd only known. Those days it's not raining here, it's hot and sticky. This is Northern Ontario. Blackfly season is supposed to be the dry season. Hot and humid lives south of the French River where the Gulf winds blow. Guess those Prairie Clippers don't come this way any more....
We're putting it together ourselves, rather than buying a kit. Half the price for twice the shed if you plan it out yourself. It's 8 x10, with 8ft walls. We should be putting the roof on tomorrow. Floor and four walls built today, along with two gates for the back yard. I'm TIRED.
Oh, and, my therm read 33 today. Not nice.
:-| We've had it both ways so far, this year. Hot and muggy, cool and wet.
Right now, we're having a bunch of cool and wet.........rain rain.
Hey, Vereya, I feel your pain. Just bought myself one of those Ralph Lauren shirty things with 10 pockets, plaid - au Canadienne. Just so darling, and it's rained every goddam day. Doesn't do a thing for it, under a slicker.............:lol: Shucks, eh! A nice chartruse colour too.........darn.:roll:
Back to the green work pants............................
Ah well.

Nova Scotia, although it's winter was longer then normal and the spring was late, is now currently more like what I grew up in then ever before.
It's currently Foggy @ 15.3°C with 100% hummidity...... ahhhhhh..... nice and cool, like tha ol' highlands o' Ireland, don'cha'know.
I think the week before last and the week before that we had steady days of sunshine and reaching close to 30°C but not quite yet.
Last week was a bit more humid with the moisture in the air sticking to you and broiling you in the sun like always, but overall, not much of any noticable difference from past years, except later seasonal changes and being more cool then normal...... ok so there are some noticable differences, but none I need to complain about.
All's good over here.

Our little thermometer is reporting 23 degrees right now and the weatherman is calling for 32 degrees today and 28 for tomorrow. The rain that was at least suggested by the weatherman for Wednesday, apparently went away.
Our house also stores the heat overnight even with every window open. That is the only downside with the hot weather....It also makes the grass grow (read Dandilions)so I will have to mow again today.
