Well, summer is here. Officially. I’ve been feeling like it’s summer for weeks now but it looks like next week we’re going to get a reminder of what summer really means: 100°F.

I’ve been good lately. I’ve been walking for 40 minutes three times a week and not eating too much of the good bad stuff but weather like what is forecast for the coming week makes me want to sit at home in the air-conditioning and inhale buckets of ice cream.

Unlike us humans, moss roses love the hot sun but this one looks fresh and cool with the raindrops.
