The weekend

Roasted goodness on Saturday- 

broccolini, tri color peppers, zucchini, multi colored carrots

Roasted veggies added to multi kales, raw cauliflower, radicchio

and topped with dried pear, pistachios and ginger dressing.

Delicious and have enough leftover for Sunday 

When the fan blowing on his mama gets to be too much,

Walter retreats to the floor directly below her on the couch 

and promptly tucks his head under as best he can. 

The heat is upon us and I will be hibernating again soon.

Some of my garden is already struggling, and I am forced

to evaluate the logic of it all; as watering more each day during a drought

to get fresh vegetables, does not balance well against the cost nor the

conservation. Sigh

I rationalize that it is keeping me sane in an insane world.

I will try today to salvage what I can,

by relocating a few items.

The first to go were the cilantro and my sunflowers,

Oh how I tried.

These beauties soften the blow

 

Also finished up the knob exchange

Loving it

 

HOT HOT HOT BOOB SWEAT

DAMN

IT'S

HOT

(  (

I have always envied woman with 

small breasts. I believe that they

look better in clothes ( so does the entire

modeling empire) they can jog without harnessing,

after breast feeding, many do not then 

resemble tube socks with a tennis ball in the bottom.

They don't have an "under" ledge to them per se.

Yeah, yeah men like boobs.

So what, I say.

Right now at 113 degrees, even with my air conditioner 

in competition with every other one in the city,

and waiting for the afternoon brown out 

surely to come...

I have sweat.

BOOB sweat

UNDER THEM

 that then runs down 

where gravity takes it 

wherever.

They predict 110 -116 at least,

they say at least

for the next 7 days.

I cannot afford a high summer power bill so I keep 

the thermostat set at 80, it still runs constantly,

and run fans directly in front of me,

or behind me, depending on the room,

and whether I am vertical or horizontal.

Even so my Energy snapshot shows I'm over 

$200 with 15 days yet to go.

If even one of you says 

"But it's a dry heat", 

I'll have to throw Howie in the car

and head your way to live with you for the summer.

AS long as you live somewhere cool, or at least

on the ocean.

Believe me, you did not want a 

photo on this post.

There are 599,000 google

responses to sweaty breasts. Go there.

Pooches and Posterior Sweat

                                Justice                                        Howie

Pant Pant, Sweat Sweat

stinky dog-sweat smell

105 w/ 25% humidity

They were outside just long enough

to wee a little and back inside they came.

I am trying to put away piles of tote fabric 

back into some semblance of organization and 

I also swapped out two cupboards, one into the studio.

Did the old large piece of furniture on a drop cloth pull trick...

Up AND down two flights of stairs.

(Yep, she IS crazy)

Growing my hairs out, 

(plucking the chin ones),

and I had forgotten how with longer hair, 

the sweat accumulates at the nape of your neck 

and then like droplets on a car window,

joins with other droplets into a raging stream,

rolls down past the shoulders, channels itself into

 the back groove, and then slides wickedly beneath 

the pant waistband, down into....

the posterior area.

Or is it just me? sigh

My Oregonian friends Kathy and Kathleen,

here's a proposition...

since you two always want the warmth

 and I always want the rain,

what say we swap homes each summer

from now on.....

Don't even need to call first,

you know the key is hidden,

or try the keypad with St Anthony's assistance. :D

Hope your weekend weather is wonderful,

or at least you have a change of underwear if need be.
