Pant..pant..


It was 46 a few mornings ago.  High of 68.  GORGEOUS.
Now this crap is back for a couple days.
BLAH.
Irie and I are NOT happy bitches ladies, let me tell you.
Michael and the boys are fine with it.  Irie and I are staying the HELL in air conditioning.

We had a good walk this morning, even with the 89% humidity.
 Because of the delightful weather, we only logged 3.3 miles.
The dogs (ME!) can't handle the heat (freaking hate it!!!).
No, really. It's the dogs.
*cough*


Very mottled great blue heron..maybe a juvenile?
Not a great shot, but it was definitely mottled..lots of light gray blotching.  We tried to get closer, but the dogs decided it was time to swim and scared it off.
Ah, well!


I hope most of you get a long weekend...enjoy it!

  4. I'm with you about the heat and humidity! I HATE it! It's 104 degrees outside right now! Humidity went down from 94% this morning to 25% but still. It's too hot to be outside. I had planned on doing something fun outside tomorrow but I don't think I could take the heat. It's supposed to be hotter tomorrow than today!

    Let's just say too that it is that hot that my outside dogs that always want to be outside are inside trying to beat the heat!

  7. Here on the West Coast we went through a patch of humidity. I am astounded you could walk in it. I found that just doing the normal chores had me nearly gasping. I can deal with cold, ice, rain, fog (mostly), and most of the other crap, uh, weather, but humidity is my downfall. I just stop, then... You have my empathy.

  16. We have a heron that stalks the pond next to our house and the other night on our way out for a walk we passed by him and he looked up at us with HUGE fish in his mouth. I can't help but love them.

  17. I'm with you, Samantha. This weather seems worse than the whole summer did. I think that's because I was out of coping mode, and into, loving Fall mode. I want my cool weather back!
