Acclimatizing

Hey, this heat is starting to feel fabulous. It lets us rationalize eating delicious organic ice cream - we need the dairy for protein and the calories for walking - and calls for cooling beverages in the evening. The garden is exploding, and not so far in the future we will be harvesting in bulk, instead of paltry handfuls of baby spinach leaves and the odd bit of arugula.
Delivered a silly card and nice present to my friend who turned fifty today. We are calling it a "zero" birthday. She's a breast cancer survivor, going into the second year. May she live fifty more.
