Allen yup it would be easy to overstress yourself. Take care.
It might be fun to finish that work in the rain 😀 (versus the heat)
I can't get much done in this heat...work only an hour or two and then rest, drinking lots of water.

We've got overcast sky (light cloud) only but it is such a wonderful break from the relentless heat.

Last nite there wasn't a leaf moving, not a breeze at our place.
Felt like there was no air 😕

Supposed to be ONLY 35 today.

I really shocked myself. There was just a bit of a breeze. Between that and the cool temperature, I was able to finish hauling the dirt into the flower bed. I will need to add 1 or 2 loads once the rest of the glass blocks are laid.

Then I went on to starting the palm bed in the front yard and moved enough dirt to fill in the hole that was left when we removed the Cherry bush and to raise the area enough for the rocks that will give the ground cover willow a little mound to spread from.

I still have a long way to go on the trench for the first 3" x 2' x 8' styrofoam sheet that will become the rear insulating wall.

The temperature is only 23 C so far and feels almost chilly.

The Edmonton temperature showing on the top page today is 4c (38f) at 10 am with light rain.
I'll bet those folks are feelin' "chilly" ... yikes!

Cheers, Barrie.

It has been a cool late summer and early fall. It is not as bad as it looks as the weather in the city is 2 or 3 C warmer than at the airport which is where the readings at the top of the page are taken.

If it would stop raining, I could get more done. We are not getting enough rain to help the plants; just enough to make it difficult to work in the garden.

Lousy here too! Steady rain and chilly temps (Oct 4). I miss summer already.
Cheers, Barrie.

Warm and muggy here in S. Ontario...

There has been a continued pattern of summerlike temps here which should peak @ +28C/84F by Monday...

The downside is...the smog....

Please don't send us that cold wet stuff..

It did clear up during the afternoon and we had a very pleasant finish to the day. Some areas even very near-by didn't get rain at all.
Cheers, Barrie.

Barrie...

Thats living on the coast eh??

I'd still swap a month or two of muggy humidity for a mild Jan or Feb (even if it is rain)...

PalmettomanZ6-Ajax, On

That's one blessing here, when it's warm or occasionally hot, the humidity is moderate or low. All our humidity is during winter so no static electricity shocks here. haha.

Cheers, Barrie.

Last night the temps peaked at 25C with 90% humidity...nice for the plants..not so good for the ragweed allergies...

For what I like doing..I'd still take the BC winters anytime...There's nothing like being out in the yard pretty well all year round...even in the rain!
