It’s been so hot here in the last few weeks that it’s been hard to feel motivated to do much of anything. But, we are slowly getting better at figuring out ways to live in the heat.
We take advantage of the cooler temperatures in the early mornings and late evenings to water our plants. Hot peppers apparently thrive in this heat…
We made a little nest in our living room under the ceiling fan to curl up in during the day. It is wonderful to sleep under my great grandmother’s quilt once we turn the air conditioning on in the evening. This past weekend was also my birthday, and I sweated out the heat from the oven to make a delicious peach-blackberry pie, with fresh fruit from the farmer’s market.
But do you know the best part of a hot summer? When it finally rains…
There is nothing like watching a succulent collect rain water—even in the heat, it’s the little things that make it possible to “live.”
