We’ve been living with extreme heat in Pittsburgh since Monday and we’re learning to cope, but it’s worth pointing out Extreme Heat will continue in the City and Allegheny Valley through Sunday 5 July.
We won’t really be out of the furnace until the work week begins on Monday. See slideshow below. Click on a slide to zoom it. 🙁

p.s. If you want to help birds in this heat, set out a bird bath or mister.
Kate, Here in Florida, our extreme heat and humidity rolled in early. We have been like this since April. Just beastly. Everything is so dry, and quite a few brush fires. Last summer was extra hot as well, but it at least waiting unti mid May to show up. Oh well! At 80, I stay indoors and give thanks I can afford the air conditioning. I wish you and your hubby a Happy 4th and USA 250th birthday! 🙂 🙂
