When I was a kid, my mother was pretty insistent that, if it was nice weather and daylight, then kids should be outside. I frequently climbed a tree and read there. It feels wrong to be inside if there's not, like, a hurricane or over 100 degrees or something.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Our kids run around outside too. My 6 yo nephew was here visiting and playing in the playground and swimming like it wasn't in the 90s. Me, not so much.
I was just outside reading, and one of my neighbors came back from a run.
It's too fracking hot to be outside.

NOPE. I won't even walk in this weather, unless it's first thing in the morning. Though I am kind of a delicate flower.
Anybody know about plants? I want to move some liriope and a couple shrubs, and I'm concerned this is the wrong time to do it.
You should be okay w/ the liriope. That stuff is all but unkillable. What kind of shrubs are you moving?
No idea what they are. The leaves are green with pale whitish edges. Supposed to grow into a medium height round-ish bush thing. I planted them five years ago and they didn't grow, so I'm moving them to a spot with more sun.
I'd say go for it, then. Just be sure to give them plenty of water over the next couple of weeks.
Someone once commented, in weather like this, how much fun it was to sit outside and watch the runners change colors.
