Howdy, Arrow! (((hugs)))

It’s nearly that hot here, despite of what it says on my “gizmo” on your post. Supposed to get up to 100 today and tomorrow and then cool down to mid-80s Saturday. I am ready for cool!

Watering tonight. We had HUGE rain clouds and thunder last night...and when they got to the outskirts of town....*poof*...they disappeared! We didn’t get one drop! :(
