I was up with the birds this morning, but at 6:30 was already seventy-seven degrees and humid as all get out. Walking was pure torture, and sweat dripped into my eyes and soaked my clothes. Yuck!
Since the temperature will most likely hit the high nineties today, I decided to divert my normal bent to complaining about the weather and make a list of things I can be grateful for on hot days. Here goes:
1. I live in the age of air conditioning, refrigerators, and ice cream
2. Lemonade, iced tea and iced coffee
3. Water
4. Our CSA share – someone else picks our vegetables in this heat!
5. The promise of a good sweet corn season
6. Sleeveless shirts and capris
7. A husband who doesn’t mind cold suppers
8. Shade trees
9. An indoor job
10. A four season climate
11. A week of vacation in the Idaho mountains
Truly, I have so much to be grateful for, even on hot days. What’s on your list?
