Oh, Baby, It's Hot Outside!!!!

It has been excessively hot this summer. We have spent almost every late afternoon and early evening for the last month out in the backyard make use of the sprinkler (and not for watering the lawn - although it hasn't hurt). Our water bill doubled in one month.
Water,

Water,

more water,

and more water,

more water,

and still more water.

We never go out for water fun until at least 4:30 or 5:00 pm. We have to wait until temperatures start dropping back down towards the low nineties or high eighties. Before it is cool enough to even be out in the backyard -even for water play. (We have had temps in the high nineties and low hundreds - with heat indexes of around 110 to 115.) It has been blisteringly hot and humid. And I don't think my water bill is going to go down much for at least another month - sigh!!
