baking bacon

Sizzling sassafras; we sure did cook yesterday. Somehow we got in walks and exercising, but really had to aim for the shade. Brain fried; only just got in some duets in the cool basement, although I'm not sure how I got my fingers to move on the clarinet.
Parcel of interesting-looking novels arrived from our book pal; just in time, as I was re-reading a book for the group's discussion and wondering what I'd do next.
Heat advisory through Monday; hope we hold up.
