HELLLLOOOO! It's Only June!

Dear Mother Nature,

Have you lost your ever lovin' mind??I have a small bone to pick with you. While I would never try to second guess your outstanding weather timing,
I must tell you you're an idiot and I can't understand why we are having temperatures close to scalding - even the hounds of hell are profusely sweating for cryin' out loud, and it's not even the middle of June!Remember June? Springtime. Rainy. Cool. Ring a bell??? While I am grateful you supply me with a seemingly endless supply of beauty, what are you trying to do, kill all the beauty you've given me???, I can't help but wonder if these extreme temperatures might be harming the very beauty you create. Hmmmm...

Notice the temperature gauge in my car as I left work....
(yeah, I know, that's not the actual temperature,
it's simply how hot it actually felt!)

Now notice the high temperature of the day at my home....
(yup, that's the actual high temperature,
not just how hot it actually felt!)

Finally notice the ungodly temperature at 4:00pm today at my home.
What is the matter with you??? I am profusely sweating and you are insane!
I really am not at all happy with your fahrenheit choices of late!
Possibly a change in thinking is due, Mother N.??

(No, your eyes aren't deceiving you.

At 4:oo pm it actually was 90 in our house.

Our AC is on the fritz. Not a good thing at all!)

Do Love you, MN, xoxo abb

Note to Self: Beauty...channel Mother Nature's beauty NOW!
Ommmmm...OK, much better now!

Mr. Bumblebee having his way with Miss Mountain Laurel.


I've never noticed before that the tiny stamens
are first folded up in the middle and then
unfurl to each of the red spots. Lovely!
(It has something to do with the bumblebee's/honey bee's visit.)


Miss Mountain Laurel is the state flower
of our beautiful Connecticut.
Isn't she just magnificent?
(Obviously the heat doesn't bother her one bit.)
(Hmph!! I think I'm jealous!)
