Heating Up - I stand corrected. . .

garden

Summer is definitely here in the desert; 106 degrees today. The cannas are loving it, though. In fact, they seem to be in competition against each other . . . putting out more blooms than ever, and quite a few of the two-toned flowers. Nature’s little mutants.

Speaking of mutants . . .

meow fish food

Meow-Meow is eating pond sticks – yep, fish food. Every morning when my BFF Gail and I return from our walk, this cat always has a trick up her sleeve … arm…whatever.

Today Gail and I were standing on the sidewalk chitty chatting when suddenly Not Right in the Head grabbed Gail’s Kleenex right out of her hand. Then she ran away.

It’s just not right.

Well, Perpaps it is NOT so hot here in this desert! PFC Ryan just informed me that it is

122 degrees in Mosul and rising. By August, they will hit 140 degrees!

106 is too much. We had it two weeks ago in Houston but it's cool here in the east coast. I can't even think of the temperature in the gulf. It's another scorching summer.

Well! Meom-meow needs to go to Miss Kitty's Kitten Caper Classses for ill-behaved felines. Naughty kitty...maybe she thinks she's become a fish bobbing up for fish food or Kleenex...whatever suits her fancy ;-O!

Aw, I like prankish cats. It's part of their personality to be so sassy. And she's a beauty.

Yeah, hot is relative. It's only 98 here, but throw in that nasty humidity and we're dripping in a 110 heat index.

Somebody please hose me down.

140??? I can't even imagine 106!!
Where there's a cat around there is sure to be fun...or, uh, trouble...depending on how you look at it? :)
