I refer of course to how well done you’ll get in this scorching heat.  And we here don’t even have the worst of it.  Someone we know in upper NY state had to go to the hospital from just moderate heat exposure.

I myself have to pace myself when working out in the garden, as I did today.  My years of conditioning at work probably help, but I’m still feeling it.

It’s almost too hot to take many photos.  Here’s the latest hibiscus bloom, and Misu surveying the queendom.  All kinds of colorful birds (and squirrels) have been tearing it up in the sunflowers.

Time for an icy drink, such as this homemade fresh strawberry daiquiri that I forgot to post the other day.
