4th of July

Hope you all had a Happy 4th
Some Picnic fun
Even the cacti are drying up or blooming
No mowing needed here
It is sooo hot here. I think we were close to breaking temperature records today. My car said 102 degrees when I left work.[The funny thing is I am FREEZING at work-wearing my sweater and lab coat] 102 was the reported airport temperature as well.
The grass is brown and brittle--such a change from last year when it rained and rained and rained some more. I am trying to keep all green and flowering thngs alive both here and for those on vacation. It is so dry we did not dare start the firepit on the the fouth as planned--no roasted marshmallows!! Im guessing with the lack of napping that went on this weekend they did not need the sugar anyway--:)
This is how summer felt to me as a child-hot,humid,dry with the stillness in the air so I actually kind of like some of it....did I really just say that?--
