"I don't think there's anything on this planet that more trumpets life than the sunflower. For me that's because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. A satellite dish for sunshine. Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that's such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life." - Chris's (Helen Mirren) comment in the movie, "Calendar Girls."

The Sun Is Trying To Kill Us!

Well, it looks like summer has finally arrived. It is so hot here that you don't want to leave your house. Today it was close to 100 and right now at almost 11pm it is 80. I, of course, choose this week to take extra days off. I had the idea that I would get some of the outside house chores done during my time off. Wrong. I have revised what I will be doing this week. I also am praying that my ac doesn't break down. I had to have some maintenance done to it right when it started to get hot here in the spring.....and now it is making this noise. It sounds like the blades are out of sync. I might have to have the ac guy out to the house again.
