It's been well over 90 degrees each day this week, which means it's been exhausting to do more than sit around. I realize it's hotter in other places, so I won't say I'm complaining, only stating a fact that made our graduation on Sunday somewhat miserable, but has otherwise been manageable.
Sunday's graduation was a joyful affair. For the first time in a few years,
all our seniors graduated without last-minute heroics, so stress was minimal on the whole. It was a long affair, though, which was all the more challenging because of the heat. Once it was over, I went straight home and sat in front of my air conditioner with my feet up and a tall glass of pomegranate and blueberry juice on ice.
Meanwhile, the peonies and other flowers were quietly blossoming so that when I arrived at school this morning, I found the gardens bursting with beauty. I tried out the macro setting on my new camera. I'm embarrassed to say I didn't realize what fun this setting can be until today! But from now on...watch out!

I had my camera a while before I discovered the macro setting. Your flowers are lovely. My irises and poppies have been flattened by heavy rain...but we now have cooler temperatures.
ReplyDeleteI heard about that heat wave. 90 degrees feels pretty hot over there. Well, anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how hot it is for you right now! We are heading into Rylan's graduation week-end and all our plans are being thwarted by cold weather and rain! A bonfire and strawberry feed one evening might get rained out (and the strawberries from a local grower are not ripening; I'll resort to California berries). A family group is potlucking at our cabin on Saturday --- and all is in readiness. BUT, it snowed 'big time' in the mountains yesterday and all I can see up there is white! I'm willing to trade a little of your heat for some of our coolness. How would that be???????
