It was 6 a.m. and I already had the fan beside my recliner going. I knew it was going to be another uncomfortable hot sticky day and my outside activities would be curtailed to early morning. Because of our increasingly hot summers the thought occurred to me if I had obtained an American citizenship years ago we would probably be living in a cooler humidity free climate somewhere in southern Colorado, northern New Mexico, or southeastern Arizona. A little late in life to be thinking about that kinda stuff now but with summers becoming steadily hotter and stickier for longer periods of time in southern Ontario Canada and cold freezing winters still being cold freezing winters...maybe not huh.

PHEEBS CHECKS OUT THE FLOWERS SLOWLY PASSING BY |
Not a lot of extra energy to play with this morning but Pheebs and I did make the rounds south of Bayfield again. It's funny how I have glommed on to one particular shorter route and have a habit of wandering along those same half dozen gravely roads about three times a week now. It's so peaceful out there in the countryside and it's where I most enjoy to be.
Home before ten I cut some grass and doinked around with the camper van for a short while. By noon it was hot and sticky enough for me to drag myself inside and scramble me into the life saving cool waters of a refreshing shower. Knowing it wasn't likely I'd be going outside again I put on my pajamas. It was 12:30.………..
Thanks for your continuing support folks. You are all a clear part of making more of my days worthwhile than you will ever likely know.
GROANER'S CORNER:(( A little girl was given a tea set for her second birthday. It became one of her favorite toys, and when her mother went away for a few weeks to care for her sick aunt, the toddler loved to take her father a little cup of tea, which was just water really, while he was engrossed watching the news on TV. He sipped each "cup of tea" he was brought and lavished generous praise on the taste, leaving the little girl immensely proud. Eventually the mother returned home and the father couldn't wait to show her how his little princess had been looking after him. On cue, the girl took him his "cup of tea" and he sipped it before praising it to the heavens. The mother watched him drink it and said: "Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?"
