These are beautiful flowers from Elaine, in the Black Forest, Colorado. Thank you, Elaine.
The amazing, over-the-top heat has arrived, seeping into every aspect of every part of our lives
Bearing down into our souls, it’s so hot.
No matter the boiling temperatures…we still must step out onto the farm for our everyday work
The sunshine seems to shimmer across the land
And the shadows fall deep and cool under the brilliant stunning baking air.
Even though it is amazingly hot the land is still beautiful
And the lives who live with us on this terra firma keep us humble in a wonderful way.
By evening a hot, brusque wind sweeps down from the Uncompahgre Plateau, through the canyons; giving us a respite from the baking oven-like feeling the lack of moving air seems to provide.
No matter what…heat and bugs and all…I still like Summer best! 🙂
From my world to your heart,
Linda

We escaped the 90° heat in the forest for 80° up here at 9600′. I noticed your predicted high today is 105°. 😳
I am a wimp. I can barely handle 85°. I don’t know how you & Terry do it.

We’ve also been “enjoying” hot weather, but at least it’s not as bad as what you are experiencing. There are some (many) advantages to living on the Cumberland Plateau.
