Turning Up the Heat!

      Comments Off on Turning Up the Heat!

Summertime, and the livin’ is… hot. Hot, hot, hot! You may or may not know I live in Sunny Southern California, where the combination of 95° + weather and extreme drought conditions are making it hard to keep things green. But there are some good things about summer. Here are some:

A beautiful Red-tailed hawk scoping the arroyo behind my house for water.

Four of eight turkey vultures sunning their wings on my back fence.

Lazy Melie enjoying an afternoon outside (before the grass died.)

California Poppies soaking up the sun – in Port Townsend, WA

Grands cooling off for summer fun!

Also in the arroyo behind my house… don’t light a match around here!

More of Port Townsend, Washington, where I spent a glorious 6 days. Went there to cool off, but they had unseasonably warm weather!

[Commercial Break!]

A wee visitor to my Kalanchoe – one plant I’ve managed to keep green!

And me, hamming it up on Snapchat! Hope you’re having a good – coolish – summer. Not hot enough? Maybe opt for a steamy summer read! 🙂
