Why is it so cold?
Filed Under HOME & GARDEN | Leave a Comment
It’s July 9th and we just put on the stove in our house. It’s supposed to be summer yet the highest temperature we can get is 22 degrees.
Is the planet playing a trick on us? I mean winters aren’t as cold as they used to be, so global warming is there to stay. Especially when you know that the North Pole ice this year will disappear in summer for the first time!
Maybe it’s because the heat of the sun is needed to warm up the North Pole water, that we in the lower regions have less heat to share?
Maybe it’s just me wanting to enjoy my garden and not being able to due to rain every now and then. I do remember my hubbies holidays would start next week, and he always brought bad weather with him during his holidays 
But what’s for sure is that our climate is getting extremely unpredictable!

July looks promising

What I love about July is that whatever fruits are now on our apple and pear-trees will most likely last until the harvest in September and October. Unless of course some extreme hurricane uproots out trees, but that only happened once in my entire lifetime.
What happens is that in June lots of fruits that will never make it until ripening just fall of to make space for the ones that will.
Last June was very very mild: very little apples and pears fell on our grass, so I guess we are in for some cider brewing at the end of the year!
