Warming Up

Everyone I know is getting ready to experience weather. Hot, stupid, sweltering weather. It is kind of funny because I feel like I've been spoiled by the decent temperatures. Even if it has been in the high 80s, by evening it drops down and I'm able to take a nice walk. 

Yesterday I went out around 4pm and it was humid, and I sweated like a giant pig. I tried to run a bit but it was not working. 

And if I thought yesterday was hot, it's gonna get hotter. 

I went for a 9pm walk tonight to finish up the steps and it was warm but like "nice" summer-like warm. I liked it. Too warm to just want to sit outside and chill but okay enough to just do the walk and come home. I only did what I had to. 

It feels like summer now. Just like this and I don't want it any hotter.  But. Ya know. Here it comes. 

I went out between meetings around lunch time and watered the garden. I want to stay on top of everything to make sure nothing burns or bakes. Toffee loves the heat, she loves to go out there and lounge in the sun. My neighbor (without dogs, on the other side) thinks she is a riot. She comes out and talks to her every day. 

We had a nice yap after I watered everything, and we talked about her back surgery and physical therapy. She told me the low-down on some of my neighbors (over here, she's a corrections officer. Those guys are dealing drugs, the signal is when they flash the deck light 3 times to let someone know to come up. Over there? That guy went to jail after several instances of drunk driving and now he doesn't drink anymore, he smokes a lot of pot...) 

If you want to know the low-down, find someone who has lived in the neighborhood 10 plus years!

I found out the fireworks for our city are going to be in the park literally behind our house. Cool, cool cool. If it isn't brutally hot Friday night, we'll maybe walk up and enjoy. We won't have to drive into town to the ballpark, which is where I thought they'd be. 

Sending everyone cool thoughts and cool breezes over the next few days. I didn't have a picture today so you go without!
