It is a hazy, hot and humid evening in the Hideaway. We are keeping a close watch on the horses, and hounds in such heat. There is a nice breeze however. I hear rumored that tomorrow will be even hotter.
One can survive extreme heat for long periods of time IF they are careful to hydrate. So remember folks...lots of water all day long, punctuated with juices, and fresh fruit to replenish electrolytes....rest as you are able, and keep an eye on pets and livestock, providing fresh water and shelter.
Crisp, cool garden salads, chilled fruit salads, old fashioned potato salad and assorted pasta salads will be our fare in such weather. Keeping shades, blinds and drapes closed to the sun will help keep your home cooler.
In the mean time...watch for the nightly dance of the fireflies, listen to the evening symphony of song birds, and enjoy your evening.
All is quiet on the western front.
