HEAT
The other day, in the morning, I felt the edge of the real summer heat.
It is a sure point of change and it happens every year.
"This is the day it turns hot".
It is preceded by the day I notice that I am standing in the shade on a warm day. In winter we move to the sun.
And sure enough it has been over 100 for several days. Yesterday 105.
This is when our world changes a little bit. Air on at about noon. Off in the early morning.
The evening dog walks turn shorter and in the shade around the complex.
Booker and I go out front and lie on the grass for a sun bath. His coat can get extraordinarily hot in a very short time.
I have to water the few plants inside our house borders now. Only the HOA grass and plants get irrigated.
Changing patterns.
Heat.
And this is the second week of the Coachella Festival.
Last week the temps were moderate although you still wanted to be out of the direct sun. This weekend, a repeat of the program, is definitely Coachella hot.
Take a look at this great film of the 2010 fest.
