Well the heat wave finally hit here. It’s hot. very hot.
Had to go to a funeral yesterday and stand out in the hot sun for about a half hour for the graveside service. It was 110 degrees and no shade trees in the cemetery. It was a typically bleak western cemetery. A lot of dirt and rocks with a few rows of headstones, some dating back to the 1800’s. It was a very sad day and the cemetery was no comfort for the mourners standing there in suits and black dresses.
We could use some rain – everything has turned brown and grey. Even the creeks and ponds have dried up. Good thing August only has 31 days and then we have Labor Day weekend to flag the end of summer.
