Hot

It's hot. The girls are flat. I have set up my Very High Tech Evaporative Cooling System.

Hot.

My favorite driveway rose bush has bloomed some more.

These wild roses have a sweet, true rose fragrance that has not been enhanced by selective breeding. You can't smell it by shoving your nose into a blossom and sniffing. You can only smell it when you are walking by a bush, and a breeze carries it to you. The bushes have nasty thorns, though, which people call "stickers". And during the other 11 months of the year that they aren't blooming, people call them "sticker bushes". But "sticker bushes" make roses! :)
