JUNE 29th: What Happens...

When it rains and is gray for all of June...and then it gets sunny and blazing hot? You get dry mud like this that curls up and dramatically heaves a dusty last breath.

In a related story, I walked yesterday in 80 degree heat. I, too, felt parched and withered. Totally unaccustomed to the summer heat, I was ridiculously hot by the time I returned to my icebox of an office. Made me grateful (for an hour or two) that they keep my office temperature around 52 degrees! By the late afternoon, I was chilled and cradling a cup of tea to warm up again.
