And of course it's sunny again today
Then again... this IS Phoenix, Arizona where the sun shines 350 days a year.

7. Because I've lived in California my whole life
and there's only so much sunshine I can take, and personally I would like more cloudy and rainy days. We just had a bit of rain last week and now this week it's getting into the high 80s (UGH! I so hate summer!)

The older I get, the less I like heat. I used to LOVE summer when I was a kid and spent all my time at the beach or a pool, eating popsicles and such.

11. Hubs found the kitties tracking one
across the living room floor the other night. Hadn't SEEN one in the house in quite a while, but I'm always sure they are around.

:hi:

12. I'll take that dry heat any day
Here in the Southeast, it is hot and HUMID. It's not as hot as Phoenix most of the time, but since it's so humid, one's sweat does not evaporate, and it ceases to serve its purpose of cooling the body. It just sits on you, and makes you feel even more miserable. Everything starts smelling musty, unless one runs the A/C constantly. I'll take August in Phoenix over summer in South Carolina any day.
