Too Hot For a Subject Line

[rejectomorph]

One of the kittens appears to be getting used to seeing me. It discovered me sitting on the back porch this afternoon and decided to remain and watch me from a distance of about thirty feet instead of immediately running away as they usually do. Then this evening a kitten (probably the same one) noticed me through the kitchen window and sat on the porch looking at me for quite a while. It won't be long before this kitten is brave enough to hang around growling at me, as its mom does, while I fill the food and water bowls for them. Kitties.

Hey, I think I just heard somebody set off an illegal Forth of July fountain nearby. I hope they only burn themselves and not the whole town.

Speaking of burning, two hellish 99 degree days in a row are expected here for the weekend. Maybe enough people will go to the lake and not run their air conditioners that there will be no power outages. I hope so, because tomorrow night's low is expected to be 70. If the house gets hot by day it will never cool off on such a warm night.

Now to go look at the waxing crescent moon for a while before it settles out of view among the pines.
