Plain and simple.....it is hot.

5AM and the temp is 94.... but it is Friday! Not really sure what I will be doing today but you know I will not be leaving the house.... at least I hope not. We are in a heat and dust advisory. The winds were fair yesterday and felt like the heat that escapes an open hot oven door as soon as you stepped outside. The weekend forecast is for 110+ temps..... well it is summer in Arizona and Monsoon too. The morning light is just starting and the sky is full of clouds. Clouds like this trap the heat in. Not even the birds are awake yet...or just too warm to chatter. This is such a nice time of day...all is so quiet. I am amazed that so many people will go for a hike in this weather.... so many rescues needed.
I may pull out the Christmas fabric ….plans to make a few Christmas Origami Stars. Seems nuts to be thinking about Christmas when it is this hot! Choosing and cutting the fabric will get it all started and keep the day simple.
I think today might be another Charlie Chan movie day.... iced coffee and feet up. Love these old movies. Gentle way to pass the day. Before it all gets started however, the Shark will swim around the place and the Swiffer will join in... swishing and fluffing will be necessary also. At the moment my coffee awaits me.
 Always a pleasure to read your comments and emails.Thank you for your kind and caring words and for your friendship.

Sounds like the perfect swelter fighting day, Gracie, and just what I might do too...following your good advice. I find so interesting that our weather in So Cal is so close to what you’re experiencing in AZ, though our rainy season can’t compare to your monsoon season...but anyway, have a cool and pleasant day 😍

Here in eastern NC, we're also experiencing extreme heat and humidity. Have been for several weeks now. I know what you mean about opening a door to an over. You take it easy and make sure you drink plenty of liquids and all.

Working on Christmas projects and thinking of snow might be refreshing. We had 106° at the end of June which never happened. It was quite an experience. Kisses. xxx

Working on your Christmas stars will help to put you in a "cool" state of mind! I love to go to Hobby Lobby when it's hot like this and walk the Fall and Christmas aisles...
We had a spit of sprinkles last night and I saw a tree down on our way to breakfast this morning. Must have been windy in the night?
Stay cool!

I hope you're taking it easy with the temperatures that high. I can't understand who goes out on a day like that and thinks 'Hey, perfect weather for a hike!'.
