Worked on the pig pen saturday and we both got heat sick, leon was down till Sunday afternoon sleeping... Our dear neighbor is in the hospital...again...so we are doing chores there till further notice..the heat / humidity has been a PITA to work in as everyone here in the south expects...it just seems to be worse each season that summer brings...

Gosh, I can identify with that. I have become more susceptible to heat exhaustion the past few years. It comes on fairly quickly. I can go from simply hot to feeling faint in less than a minute. So please, you two, take good care of yourselves. We want you around healthy and happy for many more years to come. :hugs I hope your neighbor gets better soon.

Congrats on the haul of veggies! For awhile I was getting free stuff that was left after our food pantry at the school gave away all they could. I got a 50lb bag of perfectly beautiful carrots. I have carrots everywhere, lol. In the freezer, canned, dehydrated... finally gave the last bit to the pigs. They love 'em!

One thing I have found out is....once ya get "touched" by the heat ya are "sensitive" to it and it will affect ya sooner from then on....ya both don't need to push it and ya are better off resting....even if it means something doesn't get completed til ya recover...however long it takes.... :hugs .....sounds like a great deal with the veggies....:celebrate....sure hope the neighbor gets better and avoids the virus...:fl

I just got caught up on several pages, I don't know why I don't get alerts on your and many other's threads! Watch out for the heat! We get out early, like NOW while it is in the somewhat cool of the morning. It helps, but we still get soaking wet with sweat like we played in the water sprinkler. LOL We generally quit anywhere from 11 AM to 1 PM, most usually around 12. It just gets too hot. So take it easy in that heat! Set the alarm, get out at daylight and do what you can, then hibernate under the AC! I've sat here too long, the sun is up and I need to get outside!
