Did I mention it is hot??? 7:30 PM Texas time and it is still nearly 103 by our thermometer! We are so dry; everything is really burning up...my big fear is some smoking fool will toss a cigarette out a vehicle window and poof! There we go!!!!
We are up at 6:30AM...take our morning walk...come home and I am in the house for the remainder of the day with the air conditioning on for the rest of the day! I would not have made a very good pioneer!! Although I am pretty sure I lived in Texas long ago in another life...so maybe I was tougher then!
While staying in and trying to keep cool, I have gotten quite a bit of reading and sewing done. One book I just finished and really enjoyed was Walter Mosley's "The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey". I have read some of Mosley's light mysteries with Easy Rawlins and they are entertaining, but this book is much deeper...has wonderful, memorable characters, and what a descriptive and yet comfortable style he has in his writing.
Another book I have just finished is "Deep South" by Nevada Barr. She has written many books about her character Anna (I am drawing a blank on the last name) who is a Park Ranger. Anna is always stationed at a different park and has a mystery/murder to solve!! I enjoy Barr's style...again just good, wholesome light reading but hard to put down!

| My Quilt "Aurora Borealis" for the guild challenge...not quite finished! |
My studioQ group met Monday...as always, had a great time...mucho laughing. We are getting ready to have our own display at the guild quilt show in September. Last meeting I had shown how to do a few zentangles, and now most are as addicted as I am so we are each making one for a collage to display as well as many of our artistic endeavors!!! Here are a few of our "show and tell" items.

I'm doing the same thing. Cooling it in the house as much as possible, sewing and reading. By the way, I think Nevada Barr's character's name is Anna Pidgeon. Haven't read her in quite a while but that name eeked from my memory somewhere.
