Good thinking to leave water in the garage for the cat, I don't think I would have thought of that! Rain is so amazing how it changes the air in no time, it's so restorative. .-= Cheryl@SomewhatCrunchy´s last blog ..2010 -2011 Curriculum Choices =-.

Take an umbrella for shade when you go out. It helps. .-= Life On The Planet´s last blog ..Penitent Me =-.

Love your stories, you use words a way I only dream of. The heat has been terrible in many places this year. Travels from our church called back telling stories of many broken down on the highway. Pray this is a sign of mild winter since the winter this year was way out of norm. Here Florida we broke 100 yr old records.
I so enjoy you blog, pray your husband makes it home safe through the flood waters.

We went down to my parents earlier in the week and I couldn’t believe how quickly I got used to the AC again. Going outside and sitting was insufferable, but I spend a lot of time just sitting on the porch here where it isn’t any cooler inside.

In fact, so long as there is a breeze, it feels more comfortable outside! That helps make sure everyone gets plenty of fresh air.

I was happy today. Still hot, but we didn't break 100 again. Makes 90 seem like spring again! .-= Dana´s last blog ..Hot Oh so very hot =-.

Thanks, Jennifer. This is a sketchbook of sorts so it is always nice to hear feedback on my writing.

We’ve only had one coyote attack in NE that I know of, but this property was vacant for a few years and poachers dumped their deer carcasses here. They’re used to it being an all-you-can-eat buffet, but as long as it has been since the last time we’ve had them come up close I think they’re finally recognizing there are new owners.

Where I live we’re dependent on air conditioning. But I’ve somewhat acclimated myself to the heat by spending so much time in the garden. I think it’s true that we don’t enjoy those fresh breezes nearly so much without suffering through the heat first. Last weekend I sat outside on the porch and though it was warm and humid there was the softest sweetest breeze. It was wonderful. This week is predicted to be the hottest yet – without a breeze I’ll be thankful for my air-conditioning.

We too have been experiencing a record breaking heat wave. And though we are used to extremes here in Eastern Canada, this extreme heat is new.

And it sure does make one stand back and appreciate the smallest of breezes when they offer relief.

Does that make it worth it? Probably, but likely not until the heat wave is over and temperatures return to normal.

It has been hot here as well. I like your writing style. The coyote story had me held in suspense. Well I think most coyotes are timid and afraid of people, I wouldn't under estimate them. Coyotes killed a woman in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia last summer. It was very sad. Only in her twenties. She was walking along in a national park. .-= Jennifer´s last blog ..The Sperling Garden- Hamilton Ontario =-.
