You KNOW it's summer when....

It's too hot to cook!  I've been creative with meals this week in this triple digit heat.  I heard one news story about a reporter who actually baked cookies in his car. Something light and cool like the tomato, cucumber, mozzarella salad above hits the spot.

Reading is your preferred activity, and even IT can cause you to break a sweat!

You don't see your kids EYES for days because the sun's too bright

Storm clouds gather in a matter of minutes

and a MONSOON ensues

and, the only green thing on your porch is your lovingly tended tomato plant with the fruits
of your labors!

I'm surely ready for some crisp fall weather!!!
