Blistering heat

Hot already this morning ... morning run, joined by little Mattie ... feed and kennel, go to church ... return, greeted at gate by DB ... very hot out by now ... go to trailer, Snoopy, Banshee and Corey all inside with husband and the Damcat... let DB in, fix lunch, let all out briefly, then inside, it's 100 degrees on our porch (in the shade) ... do wash, housework, read, let dogs out every few hours, little Mattie has now taken up residence under the porch ... finally cools off around 7 PM (to mid 90's), go out and water new trees, mow a little, til nightfall ... Snoopy finds a ball and brings it to me but I'm not exercising them too much in the heat ... little Mattie gamely follows us around, DB and Corey drink from the hose as I water ... the gnats are now out too ... Banshee plays with little Mattie a bit ... back to trailer, get food, feed and kennel. Clouding up, rumbles of thunder... Lord, let it rain ....
