These days I dream of living in the north lol. I'm jealous of all your fruit! My tomato plants are on the brink of death...I'm only barely keeping them alive with a shade cloth and tons of watering. They've got maybe 2 viable tomatoes on them right now, when in June they were loaded. I'm hoping if I can keep them alive, they'll start producing again in the Fall. The watermelons failed, but we're harvesting cantaloupe right now. Tons of okra. Cucumbers, leeks and eggplants have failed. We were getting tons of purple hull peas until the pests got them. None of our fruit trees produced this year because of the late freeze we had in the spring that ruined all their blooms. We are getting a few muscadines right now, which I'm super grateful for! I hope we actually get a cold winter this year. Your normal summers sound like our winters! The fruit trees don't know what to do anymore, with our warm winters we've had lately. They don't even go dormant until late January, and then it heats up again in February and then they come back to life and bloom and the March freeze always gets them.
The sun is definitely burning much hotter. I used to be a sun lover when I was young. I know what I felt back then. Now if I am outside, I feel the sun burning down on me and it feels as though I’m frying right through my clothing. I thought I was the only one who perceived that.
No, I have noticed the same thing for the last couple years. I was telling my husband last year that I used to love going outside for the first 10 minutes, even when it was really hot, to warm myself in the sun. It was a very comforting feeling. Now it feels like the sun instantly scalds my skin. I wonder if it's the sun itself, or did the elites that mess with our world accidentally thin the atmosphere or something, during their attempts to "save the planet?" Either way, God is allowing this and it definitely feels like a punishment, or prelude to the end of the world, which will perish by fire. The miracle of the sun at Fatima...the sun seeming to come close to the earth and dry everything up....sure seems like a portent of these times. Even the rain, when it comes, feels angry. It's like every cool front is a scary storm now and the rain comes down in violent sideways sheets. This last time it rained, the rain and wind slammed so hard against my back door that water began coming into the house!
