Warm Wednesday

This is what I looked like when it was hot in the desert.

It's a beautiful day today. I spent the morning cleaning up the yard, vacuumed leaves, and then hosed the deck off. The temperature is up to 70F. almost swimable. a week ago  it was in the 40's so a little sunshine goes a long way. I feel comfortable at 77 degrees, while Elspeth won't go near the water 'til it hits 83F.  It's funny how we tolerate heat and cold, I grew up in the desert, where we played in 135 degree temps. We swam in anything liquid, like mud, super saturated and pools with 3 inches of algae. As long as you didn't touch the side and knock it loose, the water was clear and cold. The mud was the tailings from the mine, the surface looked dry, but there was 10 feet of goo under that, after the swim we would roll around in the tailings until we looked like lizards, pulling your Levis pulled every hair when you pulled them on. The Western mine had large surface pools of super saturated borax solution. when you dried you crystallized. Neat stuff. The time has come for Rikki and I to head to the park, catch you later!
