Nelly had a hit song back in 2002 rapping about it being “Hot in Herre”. Well, it is now hot here in paradise as well. It is not uncommon to have temps above a 100, but this old, fat dude isn’t used to the temps combined with the humidity. The heat and humidity have combined for sweat stained caps and water running down the crack of my..<\/p>\n
Speaking of hot, I was outside this afternoon, dumping water tanks. One, to clean them out. Two, to get rid of the mosquito larvae in them. And three, I figure that all creatures would like a cool drink of water on an afternoon such as this. Yes, I even cleaned out the does tanks. Even though these satanic beasts act like it isn’t hot out. The wethers are fine as long as there is shade and a breeze. The nursing nannies and babies want all of the shade that they can find. Rumour wants to move in under the air conditioning. Dirt just stays in the back of the shed. But not the nanny brombies that are running on the pasture. NO!!! They have a stand of cedar trees that provide shade from noon till 7 pm. Or they can go under the big red barn where it is not only shaded but underground and stays about 85 degrees. This is where GARP chooses to spend his afternoons. These fire breathing, walk on hot coals and dance with the devil female goats don’t take to the shade. They spend all afternoon out on the hill, grazing and sun bathing. No shade, no water within a 1\/4 mile and no worries. <\/p>\n
And as for being hot and stupid. Well, that would be me. I came in from cleaning and filling tanks. Sweat running down my brow and my back. I was definitely dealing with a case of swamp donkey. I made it to the kitchen sink to wash my glasses and clean them with a paper towel. I saw three little red & orange peppers, maybe a 1\/4 inch long. Hey, I think I will just take a bite of one of those. Now, I like hot stuff. I have been known to drink tobasco and I really like hot salsa. I am not sure if all of the salts and moisture being sweated out of my system caused this pepper to seem hotter than normal or if it was just the sweat running into my eyes. Whatever the case, that little firecracker had a fairly higher rating on the Scoville Pepper Heat Chart. It got a little hot in herre.<\/p>\n
Stay cool, keep fresh water to the animals and remember to stay hydrated. <\/p>\n
P.S. Duke scoffed at my pepper problem. “I can eat one.” he said. My reply, “I’ll bet you 2 bucks that you can’t eat one!”<\/p>\n
He will now allow that was the worst $2 that he ever earned. Turns out that it wasn’t a cayenne pepper like I thought. They are actual Tobasco peppers. Maybe the sand herre in paradise makes them hotter? I don’t know about that, but the boy did down a 1\/2 gallon of milk. <\/p>\n
P.S.S. The Stay Put marshmallow man is still funny. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
