Maybe skip the garden tonight?

See the weather advisory below. I will be at the garden to work on just a couple of things that really should be done but please consider skipping this work night because of the extreme heat. The pops will stay cold in the freezer and the garden will keep growing without us! It WILL be good on another day for sure! -Donna

If you can stay inside today, it might be a good idea.

The National Weather Service in Raleigh has issued a heat advisory for Alamance County.

While afternoon temperatures are expected to reach the mid to upper 90s, the humidity will create heat index values between 100 and 104 degrees today.

Weather officials say that heat index values around 100 degrees pose a health risk to the elderly, children and anyone working or exercising outdoors. Dehydration, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are all possible if proper precautions aren’t taken, such as consuming small amounts of water throughout the day.
