Hoping our heat wave breaks this week. Can't justify the cost and hassle of AC when we only need it about two weeks of the year. Getting through those weeks isn't fun, though.
Has anybody heard from ita?
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I've been in contact with ita, Bev. She is recovering and in turtle mode, understandably.

I had 9 glorious hours of sleep last night, thanks to Benadryl. Which was great, but I woke up too late to get in a walk before the temperature got to stupid hot. Oh well.

Well, I've taken all the recommended allergy meds and now I am breathing better but actually doing anything besides breathing is doubtful. So it goes.
I am not supposed to have this particular issue in the summer. I wish to complain to whomever is in charge.

Can I add my name to that complaint?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I need to share my crazy dream:
I was at an Oprah show with one of my cousins (the cousin I am least close with). It wasn't in the normal Oprah studio, it was a smaller show and we were there as part of a small audience just standing off camera. We seemed to know Oprah somehow because we were very casual with her. Her guests were some senior citizen dance group and Robin Thicke (WHAT?). Oprah and Robin were being gross gross flirty, was weird. Then we all went to a Dolly Parton concert and I was sitting in the crowd with Robin and Will Smith. (all of this soooo random). For some reason I kept sitting sideways in my seat and putting my feet and legs on Robin and Will, which they were fine with. Oprah was down closer to stage and was like a giant fangirl, dancing and screaming for Dolly.
YOU ARE WELCOME TO MY BRAIN.

I finally (FINALLY!) figured out what to do with the excess number of figs our tree produces: figgie spread with balsamic vinegar. I made several jars with the first harvesting and I'm sure I'll have to do more.
(While I was at it, I also canned some peaches for winter -- this is my inner midwesterner at work).
We still have dried figs in the freezer for fig newtons.
