My slice of Columbia County is on the North face of a fairly large, wooded hill. It’s beautiful, and never gets too hot, but there’s no one spot in the yard that receives true, full sunlight. Fortunately, there’s no shortage of flowering plants that grow in low light.
One of my least favorite aspects of life in NYC was the summer. We didn’t need a heat wave to make life uncomfortable – all that concrete and glass could easily turn a typical hot day into a sweaty mess, especially if your day began by waiting 10 minutes on a subway platform. Gross.
Even though I’m just a few hours north of the city now, the weather is dynamically different. One thing is for sure, if it’s hotter than hell up here, it must be ungodly hot in the city right now.
So for all my friends sweating in NYC, here’s a little ditty from Marilyn Monroe, Heat Wave!
Posting is going to be a bit light around here during the Summer months. But check back every now and then until we return to a more regular schedule in the late Summer.
