Sun warmed

I heard the local weather report on the car radio this morning after dropping T at the train. It's the hottest start to the month of August in recorded history for the South Shore of Massachusetts. Endless heat and humidity with flash thunder and rainstorms very occasionally. We had one downpour yesterday, but it was over so soon here that it really didn't do much good. 

We're very comfortable(well, not Raspberry) downstairs with our ductless AC unit in the loft, but the window ACs struggle in the upstairs windows. Old houses have difficulty in extreme temperatures, summer or winter BUT, we are not accustomed to 24/7 AC here for weeks on end. Our electric bill will be sky high, not to mention the water bill with the extra outdoor watering. 

I know that this will probably not get any better in my lifetime, but I hope we soon have some folks in power who can slow down this utter destruction of Mother Earth for the sake of the little ones. Our precious ones and the so far unnamed little boy bundle born this morning to the daughter of one of my oldest friends. Climate Change is so real, but we have a reality star president who is a clueless conspiracy conman intent on murdering Mother Earth before her time. 

Off the soapbox now, I'll just say again, he has to go , along with the other hateful swamp beasts he's surrounded by.

For the Record,
This day came in hot and humid.

All hands longing for the chill of fall.
