Blinking hot , but I was out, so decided to see what might be available?








I start nerviously sidestepping when I hear these things






Maybe a reason to go out earlier one morning?

Only out there for maybe 30 minutes, soaking wet with prespiration, time to get back in aircon and maybe catch a real good summer cold?

Enjoy

Oh the dragonflies are super Les! That robber fly looks like it’s got a bee or wasp for lunch! I’m always headed for home by 11 in the morning… but I start about 6 in the morning and it’s still hot! I leave the heat of the day for them kids… they can take it!

Theresa, I don't know what the temp was at BBSP, but at the lake it was 98° in the shade and humidity a high of 40% for this area. If'n you lasted two hours you are a more determined [or in my case "hardheaded"] than I.

Ain't it fun???
