Itty Bitty Hooves

Dealing with the Heat

With all the heat lately I sure am glad we got out air conditioning compressor fixed this spring. Having all these animals makes it impossible to not go outside and work. There is feeding to be done, clean up needed, and other general chores although I try really hard not to do anything reallyl strenuous in this heat. It’s one thing to have to go outside when you can’t even walk to the barn without breaking out in a heavy sweat, but it’s another thing completely to be so hot and then have to come into a house where you can’t cool down because it is even hotter. I guess it is kind of sad how much we rely on modern technology but I have to admit I don’t know how people in the early 1900’s and before did it. I think I would have found it harder to deal with the cold of winter than the heat of summer, but then again, considering the current weather, I’m not so sure about that.
