The sun has shown quite bright lately, blessing the landscape with an almost constant warmth. Unfortunately the heat is taking a toll on everyone. The cabin walls love the sun and cause my home to become a sort of an oven. The cats and ferrets rest a majority of the day- and only play in the morning and evenings when the world cools down. The dogs are outside- where at least there is a breeze. But even they with their black coats draw in the heat of the light above them. I bring them to the river to play once or twice a day, dowse them with water as well, and offer them a constant supply of cool refreshing drink. But I am kind of hoping for a cloudy day here soon. Even though I love love LOVE the sunshine- the heat of this summer is wearing on all of us. And a cool-day break would be quite welcome right about now.
