Baggy shorts, jammies top bare feet, messy bun ceiling-fan breeze on my neck sipping lemon water Watching neighbor's sprinkler make prisms on wet grass trying to enjoy the heat longed for last December What a cool cool way to spend this hot, hot summer day
To all my friends and family in the Pacific Northwest,
stay safe, stay hydrated, stay as cool as possible
during this heat wave.

Thanks, VJ. I have family in Seattle and they have been scorched but the forecast looks a little more comfortable today. Hope you are bearing the heat. I don’t remember where you live. Canada?

Nice take on the heat wave at your side, LuAnne. Here in India though we are in the rainy season so all is okay, okay. Not much heat. Great poem.

Perfect take on how to survive a heatwave, LuAnne! Our sprinklers were on quite a bit and I believe it helped most of our plants survive. I did start the watering regime several days in advance to get the garden hydrated. Now we’re back to regular weather and I’m grateful for it! 🙂

I have been watching the weather in the PNW and was glad to see that you guys got some relief. I am glad you nurtured your little ones in the gardens and that they responded. Hope all is well.

Yes, all is well here! Thanks for asking, LuAnne! Did your area recover from all the flooding?

I guess so. We we quite fortunate in our little pocket of the world to not have had any problem with it. Some friends had flooded basements and our church flooded but I think all is well for now. No rains lately. Thanks for asking.
