well, there's one good point to all this heat and no rain...

there's nothing to mow this week...

yep, there's always a silver lining...

in the mail...

as you know...

I collect large letter postcards...

especially the ones with names on them...

and with family names on them...

this one represents my mother...

it's what my father used to call her...

my husband's father and his brother...

my great grandfather...

and my great grandmother...

I love getting things in the mail...

I got these all on eBay and more...

the others are being sold in the booth at the antique mall...

they will more than pay for themselves...

have a great morning!...

hazy...

it's another one of those mornings...

the kind of days when you can see the air...

clinging kind of air...

smothering kind of air...

morning glories are clingers, too...

and they enjoy the smothering as they themselves seek to smother...

and they thrive in the mornings...

but only for awhile...

the dew point is as high as the temperature...

it's a wet heat...

captured in the web...

we still have the heat warnings...

it was 108 with the heat index yesterday...

just a few more days and then we should get some relief...

back down in the 80s...

we tried to walk last night late...

around 9:30 pm...

the bugs were so intense, we gave it up...

tonight is supposed to start the meteor showers...

hopefully, we will be out there...

watching...

in the loungers...

if the haze doesn't hide the view...

big day planned inside...

shampooing carpets...

yippee...
