Seventy degrees
and I grab
for       my slippers.

The sun rises
higher/brighter/hotter.

Strangled by the
Heat

noon.
His dalmation

Panting [gasping?]

How high has the
mercury climbed
on the
other side
of the window pane?

Sixty eight degrees -
I nestle my toes

fuzzy black cocoon.
A blanket would be nice...

It's a 'scorcher of a day'

Sixty six degrees.
I should really Stop[!]
playing with
the thermostat.

It's a little too cold in here.

Chilling out again? Now go have a candlelight warm mineral salts bath, put on some soothing tunes, and stroke that Dalmatians belly 'till dawn.

Feel better now?

"nomorewaterinthebowl."

May I have your muse for a while? I'm sure you wont miss it

. I love the pictures you put into my head when I read your work. You do good stuff in there...now if only I could get something out that sounded remotely like that

Are you scared? BOO! Are you now?
