Monday, 2:53 pm: Wow! It was 88.4 degrees yesterday. That’s almost a sweltering temperature. Luckily we weathered it well, and none of my brains cells dried out too much – I need all I’ve got. Sleeping last night was a little uncomfortable. With all of our electric fans blowing, I felt like I was trying to sleep in a wind tunnel. In any case here I am alive and seemingly well.

We have been trying to catch an abandoned cat some heartless person dropped off on our road. No luck so far even with tasty canned cat food as bait. I guess we’ll have to switch to Plan B. Now I have to sort out what that plan is. Hopefully we’ll catch it and take it to the cat rescue shelter in Van Buren. I’ll keep my readers posted.

Yesterday parts of Maine were supposed to be on an Ozone Alert. To me it just looked very hazy, just like today. Today is also quite toasty, but we do have a breeze which helps to mitigate the heat. We did what we could in our garden early before it got too hot. Now it is siesta time.
