siesta

It's hot in the valley of the sun. Today's high was predicted to be 114 degrees. I've decided that the fine line between spring and summer in the desert is the nighttime temperatures. In the spring the nights cool off and when you get up in the morning the air is refreshing. In the summer it's hot all the time-day and night. Summer has arrived. Jay has been getting up before the sun and heading to work early to try to beat the heat. This morning after he left I sipped my iced mocha outside and watched the sun rise. The weather on my tablet said it was 92 degrees at 5:21 AM (of course it only felt like 89!). 

We've still been using the swamp cooler rather than turn on the more expensive air conditioning but it only makes these high temps slightly more bearable. When Jay got home this afternoon he laid on the floor in the dining room in front of the swamp cooler. Lily thought that was a great place to take an afternoon siesta and joined him. I was back and forth between the computer and the kitchen but happened to catch the two of them holding hands...ah...paws.
