The heat wave that's been hitting us finally ended! I worked outside almost every day during a week of average temperatures above 100 degrees. I actually had a heat rash for a couple of days, which hasn't happened to me since I was about five years old. Craziness. Attempts to stay cool included swimming, hitting the movie theater, eating black licorice ice cream, sleeping in the AC, and avoiding too many outdoor activities, which left time for indoor crafts. During all that time of heat and NO rain, I started daydreaming about wild storms and adventures, and using paintbrush and ink to doodle away the hours :)
