HOT ENOUGH  .  .   .

We've been breaking 100 and setting heat records for the last five days.  I think we've topped 95 every day since the first week of June too.    Definitely smart to curtail the outdoor activities for the most part.  

I tried frying an egg on the sidewalk when I was a kid, and got fussed at for making a mess and wasting the egg.  Now I'm the grownup and I'm paying for the groceries.

After about 30-45 minutes the egg did start firming up a bit, but it certainly wasn't anything I would have served to company.  Probably should have sprayed the concrete with Pam before I started. 

 No worries about the mess.  Lucy was happy to handle cleanup.

Hungry Eyes

Only a minor adjustment with levels.  Otherwise straight out of camera. 

"I just need enough to tide me over until I need more." -- Bill Hoest, Cartoonist (The Lockhorns)  1926-1988

"Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you're not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were."

Floating  on a hot summer day.  

Swimming pool blue makes a great flower background.  It's like having a sky with no sun spots.  (Just little stains instead)

Note to my mother -- could this possibly be from the elusive "lost" bulb that you gave me two or three years ago?  The individual blossoms are about 1 1/2 inches, but they're on stalks with at quite a few of the  smaller stems like this one.  Quite a striking display, and they're doing so well that they could even be thinned and shared after they finish blooming.

Lighting Up the Night

If I had wanted really good fireworks pictures, I suppose I should have staked out one of the professional shows.  However, the "kids" on our block, teens and some who have celebrated a few more than umpteen Fourths, put on a pretty good exhibition of their own.  Ours is much more fun, up close, and personal.

This is actually a combination of two separate images, and the fountain on the right is really the one that the young man is lighting on the left.

It's the American way!  

The rains finally let up a little bit in the afternoon and into the evening, and all the fireworks vendors I spoke with seemed pleased with the steady pace of business.  At least the fire risk was low and the "cul-de-sac wars" could begin.
