Some other random shots from today: I saw this in a Macy's store, and thought it was interesting. This is all made from folded copy paper.
We spent most of the day in the DC suburbs. We saw several downed trees and a lot of utility workers on the job. I know it's awful to be without power for over a week, but those people have been working around the clock and are to be commended.
We had dinner in Frederick MD, and didn't realize until we were downtown that today is First Saturday. They have a different theme each month, and today was the Frederick Float down the little creek that flows through town. After dinner, we walked over and watched for a few minutes. There were several kayaks/canoes/paddle boats, etc. all decorated patriotically. They didn't paddle very far, but it looked like they were having a lot of fun!
Stitching in the cool.....Sunny
That would be about 40C...you can have it, as we have 40+ days for long stretches here in summer! I hate the heat too and am enjoying my frosty mornings at present! Stay cool!
ReplyDeleteoh Sunny to be in the sun again,we had frosts that heavy this morning that it looked like snow on the ground and it was freezing,love your pics.xx
ReplyDeleteThat is hot... I did a conversion like Cardygirl did.... a bit too hot

I think we times our departure from the US just right - before the temps went up.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised those people who were paddling in the creek didn't jump in and get wet. Looks like a fun event.
Hope your AC keeps doing what it is supposed to!
It has been so hot here! Yesterday my car said 106 when we were driving home from the pool. Even Ronnie didn't enjoy swimming as much as she normally does--this heat has us beat!
ReplyDeleteWe are remodeling our bathroom this weekend, so it has been hot up in there as well, but has to be done and this is the time to do it. I definitely have lost some weight from working so hard and sweating so much!
Stay cool, Sunny!!
ReplyDeleteI think those other Aussies live over East where they get a lot of frost. Here in the Mid West we are having COLD nights and lovely sunny winter days but I can relate to you not liking the heat. We get lots of over 40's too in the Summer.
ReplyDeleteStay cool
Looks like it will be cooling down to normal temps this week (I hope). I'm such a wuss...if it gets over 80 degrees I go limp. I know this is sic but I do better shoveling snow than sweating at the beach.
ReplyDeleteWell we here in Idaho are going to be at 100 for the next week, but no humdity so I think it will be a cooler 100....What a fun parade of boats! Thanks for sharing your pictures with us...
ReplyDeleteCOLD COLD COLD waiting for Mr B to get out of bed and light the fire!
ReplyDeleteOh Sweetie! You poor things, you really need a dip in our pool! Well, the good news is - only two more months or so of this hot weather. LOL! Great pictures - so entertaining!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to some cooler weather and rain too.
ReplyDeleteThe patio looks like a ghost town. lol I would be inside.
fun photos, the flowers are so pretty.
I hope you got the break in the heat you were looking for. We actually have had some much appreciated rain this week and that has really helped us.
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you that heat , it is around 27 -28 here and to me that is hot .Hope it cools off real soon for you and I love your black eyed susans.hugs
ReplyDeleteThat heat sounds terrible - it must be quite sapping and hard to settle to do anything. Isn't that paper skirt amazing?! Love your paddling photos - very colourful!
