I lurk in the shadows in broad daylight like a criminal on the run. I seek asylum in the shade, escaping from the sun. I hide inside where the air is cool. Darkness is my benefactor I use like a tool. Heat is my nemesis and doom. I only feel safe in the gray gloom of overcast skies filled with rain. The direct sun on my head tries to cook my brain. So I take to my porch at odd hours, the wee of the morning to water my flowers. Then late in the evening at nightfall, I sit and listen to the animals call. I survive summer like a fugitive, that is just the way it is until fall. LGR(C)7/12/18 |

Yep, basically there with you my friend . . . only my "plants" such almost more water than I can provide (at least that's what the water bill says). Ah, well, just a couple more months until the chill begins to make itself known. But, darn, then I have to stop worrying about not enough water and what's going to make it through the winter!! Never ending!! j. |

Hot! Hot! Hot! Summer has barely begun and I'm not liking it one bit. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Thanks my friends! Gosh, you'd think I was made of butter the way I have to avoid the heat and direct sunlight. It is a good thing I like to siesta in the afternoons. ~L |
