Record high temperatures for the Pacific Northwest make for hot doggies! Hawk has retreated to the swing by the pond for relief, but at 90 degrees or more, even near the pond, there is not much relief at all. This Vizsla is having a harder time coping with the heat than my 5 Labrador Retrievers. Go figure!
The plants, even heat loving plants, are wilting and shriveling shortly after watering.See these beautiful plants and blooms? While watering them I discovered .....
...this cute little frog hiding in the spear shaped leaves. "
Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it." Mark Twain
The pond, though wet, seems hot and humid, and though green, is not the respite from the heat I need. The temperatures around here were higher than anywhere in the U.S. We beat the deserts. Goodness, triple digit temperatures frazzle us North westerners who are very happy picnicking and camping in the rain under tarps and wearing sandals with our rain gear. "
What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance." Jane Austen
But Hawk did enjoy the swing by the pond.
"
As a rule , man is a fool,
When it's hot he wants it cool.
When it's cool he wants it hot.
Always wanting what is not."
