It's 8am and 95 outside. I sit with a cup of coffee with my feet in the pool, watching the water for unfortunate beetles and spiders that drowned in the night. I very carefully place them on a piece of card stock, arranging their legs. A couple of beetles crawl away. Good for them. Spencer walks around the corner, he's brought a bread pudding. "What's happened to your hair?" he asks. "Heartburn," I reply. I change into my suit and dive in. The water is like silk. In a couple of hours, we'll only be able to walk on shaded areas of the deck. My friend Kevin says it's hot in Chicago, and Ravyn says she's never felt it so hot in Virginia. It's supposed to be 114 today.
I'll wake Orion and we'll get Aubrey and go to the library. Books for him, DVD's for us to play in the studio while we work. I'll make art and Aubrey will pack Poppets to send on adventures and new homes.
good morning.

It is hot here too. Luckily The Poppet-that-Lives-in-Poland has his own place to live in the dungeons so he is cool:)His silly human is not that lucky ;) Have a great day!:)
I have not even been outside today but it's cloudy and the air already looks thick with humidity, though the weather website says it's only 78. I went to the library yesterday! I was shocked at how many people were there. All the books I wanted were out. I was actually sort of happy at this.
Enjoy your day of avoiding the clutches of summer heat. :)
Lisa - nothing comparable to what you guys have out west, but we just had a 3.7 here in Maryland! My first earthquake - woke me up with the ohshitwhatthehellisthat, and it took about 20 minutes for local news radio to start reporting, but at least i know what it is (rather than say a horrific explosion somewhere nearby).
And today, only the third warm day we've had in LA this summer (admittedly, we kind of skipped straight to hot and humid--for here, anyway), we had a power outage that lasted from noon to somewhere between 6:40 and 7:30 PM.
Makes me wish I had a pool. I doubt the cats would appreciate a dunking, though...
