There is something inherently wrong about shifting cows, or milking or gardening with sweat running down your legs. Arms and face seem to be acceptable places for sweat. Maybe the brow, or even the belly. But the legs should be a sweat free zone in this cheap sauna we are living in at the moment. I mean – REALLY! 
Naturally the pigs always win when it comes to temperature control. And they always lie in their wallow is exactly these positions, facing West. Lined up. Waiting it out. Good piggies.
Sometimes good. 
The only one to show real suffering in the heat was Aunty Del. Once I noticed her panting, and droopy tongue we hosed her down, especially her feet. She perked up pretty quickly. Like I said yesterday it is not the temperatures it is the excessive humidity with the high temperatures that gets them.
In fact it was so humid that my camera fogged up so I had to leave it outside in the barn for the day so it was acclimatised. 
Today I take the boys up to the train but I will be back to watch over everyone by lunchtime.
Last night the thunderstorms came in about 11pm, storm after storm, more lightening, more torrential downpours, more thunder, more of everything. We lost electricity for a while but that happens in these storms. I scheduled this to post early just in case I did not get back to you.

I went into a store some weeks ago. It was so UN a/c’d that I sweat up a storm and I had cornstarch rivulets running down my legs! Did I leave the store in a huff? Nope…kept on shopping and grumbling both under and over my breath. You can have my share of it! Much love, Your Gayle.
The pigs definitely have the right idea!
Oh C. these are just tiny little fans that just provide a tiny little breeze about your face. I didn’t grow up with fans either…we couldn’t afford them…american or not! 🙂
