Another blistering, humid day, but every day carries us toward Autumn and cooler, crisper days. For now, we are hanging on to a forecast of cooler weather Thursday.
Bart must get fit, hot or not, if there is even a thought of horse showing in September. Ironically, the prize list for the St. Louis National Charity Show came out today. Bart and I traipsed around for an hour in the heat. He was uninspired, but felt great after a rest day yesterday. We saw a turtle on the trail, which reversed us, rather than risk stepping on it. Always a good day when we see a perfect turtle!
Speaking of reptiles, I saw a skink on the porch. Eddy chases lizards, so I haven’t seen many this year.
Eddy is wild, even in the hottest of weather. Weedy is much more sensible.
Just like his dog, Harry is wise and handsome.
A tufted titmouse cooled off on this hot afternoon. A blue jay was caught in flight before he landed and cooled off by panting.
Flowers and butterflies are thriving in the heat, though we are already needing some rain again.
A thunderhead teased us with possible rain, but moved on.
Be safe, be well, be kind. Drink plenty of water. Slava Ukraini! Peace…
