Heat Wave

My weather AP shows 95F but with the humidity it feels like 113F. Today is the warmest day we’ve had in Maine in more than a decade, and tomorrow brings more of the same • We’re so grateful for our upstairs AC • Before 8am the garden and birds were watered, much to the chagrin of the kitties who wanted their breakfast first. I shared in their suffering for I had not yet made coffee :)) • I took quick sorties through the day to monitor how everything was faring. A young squirrel had dug a hole to rest his tummy in; another draped himself over the top of a granite pillar. Poor babies! Most birds kept to the woods but a few fledgling chickadees swooped in for seeds • Two chipmunks scavenged seeds and sipped fresh water from the birdbath. Here’s one of them :) • Peace & Love
