This flower is not the only thing wilting in the heat wave we're having around here at the moment. (97°F/36°C today.) And I haven't turned on my AC because birds have nested right underneath it. Am I being foolish? [To see more b/w shots, visit Dragonstar's meme.] |

From hardship—such beauty!
ReplyDeleteSome decades ago, in the harshest times of summer, an acquaintance would soak a bed sheet in water, wring it out a bit, set an oscillating electric fan pointed at or over it, and cover himself with the damp sheet. Then repeat when dry, all night long.
But surely the bird children have left home? No eggs in the nest in July? Yet, could the AC hot-air exhaust lead to nest combustion? Now where was that spare sheet?
Wilting, but still so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, my! The tempts have moderated down from the 100 + that we have been having to the mid 90's for a few days. Maybe this break will make it your way soon.
