Too hot to handle

Okay, it's hot. Record hot. So hot that around here it seems like the pets, the kids and the walls are lost in space. Blank space. Going anywhere with deep air conditioning feels like a treat to be savored. Piles gather and papers feel limp to the touch. The flowers on the other hand are full of color and spreading their blooms. Tomatoes turn darker shades of red before my eyes.I have to love the sprinkler system that keeps the grass green and the easy contemplations while standing in the yard casting cold water on thirsty beds. I dream of cooler temperatures and dry air, piled up clouds and a return to purpose. Looking forward to the end of this week of steam and soaring temperatures. Truly.
