Remember just a few months ago when we were all saying how cold it was and how we couldn't wait for summer?! *raises hand*
Well, unlike my post title, it's anything but cold outside in most of the US right now. In fact, it's downright steamy.
My mom used to call this kind of weather hot and sticky. And I would have to say that that's a pretty fair assessment of the way it is outside right now.
Even the dogs don't want to be outside...well unless the sprinkler is going that is! Misty Belle loves the way the water gives her that awesome 80s crimped hair look!
I love this out of focus picture of Mr. Quinn chasing the water droplets as they zoom around the yard. It's kind of how I picture Monet capturing his true essence! ;-)
We over seeded part of our yard so they are loving that we have the sprinkler set up for a little while each day. And it is a great way to beat the heat, but I sure do spend a lot of time cleaning up wet paw prints when they come inside. It's a small price to pay for happy, cool doggies though.
Last night we had some crazy weather. There were storm clouds all around us, but the sun was like a ball of melon colored fire (ok I know it actually IS a ball of fire, but you get my drift) sinking below the horizon.
Then when I gazed up above me there was this...another wonderful heart shaped cloud, drifting amidst the dark storm clouds. I'm sure it was a gift from a dear friend.
Later we ended up having quite a light show as the storms eventually reached us. There was also lots of thunder and wind, and thankfully plenty of much needed rain! Today it's back to the steam bath, but hey at least it's not the 1700s and I'm not wearing "summer weight" wool, and lots of undergarments, without the benefit of AC...so it's a good day I think!
I hope you are managing to stay cool where you are...or warm, whichever you're in need of at the moment!
