In the early summer morning when birds are stirring before daylight and the air is still and heavy with dew, it feels as if the day is still deep asleep waiting for the coffee to brew. Bare feet tread quietly to the door to let the paws out to do their business. The nightshift comes purring in ready for a taste of milk and Friskies. A mission accomplished scratch at the door allows entry back into bed and breakfast inn. The house is cool and quiet except for the sound of toenails tapping across the kitchen floor. And from a distant bedroom comes a soft and even snore. A gentle rustle comes from a hideaway beneath the bathroom sink where the nightshift catches her forty winks. A tinkle then contented sigh from the living room means the paws made his leap up onto the sofa with success. The sun rises unrelenting with its heat. I take refuge in my favorite reclining seat, dozing with the rest. Another lazy day spent hiding away. LGR©7/13/15 |

Hide, hide, hiding away . . . A song wasn't it? It is lazy here in the swamp also. With the humidity factor we are at 101 degrees as I type. Too hot, and it isn't even August, the hottest month of the year. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Devina! How good to hear from you! I think we topped out at around 114 with the heat index yesterday. Today we have pink skies and thunder...no rain yet... keeping my fingers crossed. ~L |
