Way too hot to even think about a walk today, which gives me a little more time to read. That's good because for the first time ever, I've managed to overbook the advance review copies I get from NetGalley (and occasionally directly from publishers). In fact, I have three books that need to be finished two days from now and I just started one of them this morning (a 450-pager). Think I'll have some 'splainin' to do! Anyhow, today's photo is one of our hydrangea blooms I was sure had died in the heat. Amazing what a long drink of water will do!
