Heat Wave
23-Jul-06
I despise cold and snow, but I don’t do so well in the heat, either. Yesterday was beastly hot. Today, we’ve managed a little better. There are some clouds in the sky,which helps, and also we closed all the windows just before the outside got warmer than the inside.
Anyway. For all the other Northern Hemisphere sufferers today:
Ice cream
Slurpees
Cold water running over hot feet
Dunking yourself in a cold creek
Body surfing in the ocean
Saltwater on your lips
The smell of sunscreen
The rough rasp of a beach towel over your skin
Solarcaine
Fresh-squeezed lemonade
Ice water
Sandals
Sarongs
Living in your bathing suit
Living in your birthday suit
Sprinklers
Fresh blackberries
