August 2007

Parched
dry
leaves falling from droopy, thirsty trees
rock hard ground
dead grass
little mowing
hot
very hot, like an oven
sweaty
dry creek beds
breezes scarce
conserving electricity
walking/running before 7am
hot
hiding indoors beside air vents
eating ice cream, often:)
no energy
wearing lightweight clothes
parking the car as close to a tree as possible
escaping to the mountains
escaping to the beach
escaping!
covering the car's windshield with a sun shield
evening's warm as toast
oppressive summer
swimming
flip-flops
sandals
dry
hot
dogs panting
thunderstorms that pass around us
hoping for a tropical storm to brush by!
Hoping....
