Oh my gosh! Could it BE any hotter??!! Then again, I think I need to just sit down and keep my mouth shut because when I watch the weather, the areas all around us are even hotter! OK, silver lining to the “heat” cloud? . . . it’s at least almost the middle of August. I suppose that beats it being the middle of May. So, hopefully cooler weather is just around the corner.
Though we are not big heat lovers, our lavender and other flowers, tomatoes, etc. apparently are and have flourished this summer. Just thought I’d share a couple of pictures with all of you who check out our blog.
Enjoy and stay cool!
