108°F Forecast Today

 This morning it's 90° by 10 AM. Everything is situated, and now I'll hunker down. I used the air conditioner last night, and had a pretty good sleep until 6:45, when Popeye (formerly The Kitten) woke me up. He's becoming more affectionate at 3 years old. Dinah the dog, and him have a thing going on. He canoodles with her every chance he gets. Halo isn't very affectionate, so Dinah and Popeye have found each other.

The okra loves this heat and is flowering and fruiting heavily. I've been picking , eating and freezing it. I'll mix some steamed okra into a potato salad I'm making today.
