An Observation

It's quiet outside.

Chango decided she wanted to chase a tennis ball, so I went out on the deck with her. I heard one car go by, and that was it. There's no one doing yard work, no kids playing. A jet went over. I put some fresh water and ice cubes in the bird dish.

104 right now, will probably get up to 106 before the day is out. Yee haw.

It's pretty quiet here today because it's just too hot to be doing much outside. The thermometer on the patio, which gets sun most of the day, is standing at 100 degrees.

*nods*

Same here. Our little thermometer (one of those free things that stick to the window and probably came in a National Wildlife appeal) says 101 in the shade.

Lord, but I've always hated August.

August is always depressing to me. It's so hot and dry that the earth just looks tired. And I always miss the kid when he first goes back to school, so that seems to contribute to it.
