Taps
Well Taps we always think a nice cup of hot tea is better in hot weather. Proper fresh made tea with just milk. I have tried all fancy teas but I am afraid they taste Yukky to me. Anyway I did not think that ladies would sweat,I thought they just glowed. You are quite good at this.

I used to find August a kind of bittersweet month,
the last weeks of freedom before the start of school, and also the "dog days" when you couldn't cool off at the swimming hole down at Mill Creek because they thought we could catch polio. But in western Washington the days rarely got blistering hot and the nights were always cool enough to need a blanket...

Its summer - and I am one of those strange creatures that thrives in warm, sticky and humid! That's not to say that I don't like the occasional cool breeze, as I sit on the deck and enjoy a piece of warm peach pie with my frozen Margarita...And I like the 'song' of the cicadas as well... I can't really see much of the Perseids from here - too much light pollution. But on Aug 12 I shall drive north a bit, just ten miles or so, and enjoy the spectacle again, as I have in past years...

Tea, cold and iced, sounds fine. Just keep the cicada away!

I would love to come and sit with you and sip ice cold tea.
we had rain from a storm just now. 6 drops I swear. My garden is going to die off early this year.
