The other day I noticed signs of summer underway…hot temps? Yes.  91 degrees in my living room (no joke).  Pavement too hot to step upon?  For sure – no more going barefoot on the driveway.  The newly planted blooms already thirsting for water?  Sadly, yes.

I see signs of a HOT summer…

Peeling paint…didn’t we just paint that last year?

A lawn chair dusted off and sitting in the sun…

The perfect summery strappy sandals…

And alas…the ubiquitous coals that won’t light.

How will you keep your cool?
