(not me, but a trio that has my same musical style)
nothing better
on a sweltering hot day
than having a front row seat
belting out fan karaoke.

roads filled with cars
topped with kayaks, canoes, rafts
seeking water
going upstream
on a streak of hot summer days
looking like soldiers off to do battle
armed with water toys and sunscreen.

you don’t move.”

(similar to a typical group I saw running into target today)
just a few days to go before christmas
it’s sunny and almost 50 degrees
in the lower peninsula of michigan
out come
the shorts, the sandals, the sunglasses, the smiles
the coats stay behind
close your eyes
feels almost like summer
we are a hardy lot.

“heat is heat.”
my candle quietly answers the question.
—
“what dreadful hot weather we have!
it keeps me in a continual state of inelegance.”
-jane austen
glenn frey the cat not the rocker
is really upset
about the ongoing stretch of excessive heat
and has decided
to vocally protest
each night
however
i have a different style
and feel that silent protests
might be much more effective.

with temps in the 90s late in september
this kinder has it right
or perhaps it never left?

“i haven’t had the time to plan returning to the scene because I haven’t left it.”
-mick jagger
local scarecrow goes down in the heat
and perhaps looks forward to a cooler season.

michigan, united states – shot in january from space
and on the ground, in michigan, the falls are so cold they have stopped flowing.
it hits me like an avalanche on fire – i am in the united states, and talking to my daughter in australia, and i realize, that while we are both sharing this exact same moment in time, on the exact same planet earth, we are simultaneously experiencing extreme weather temperatures that are 100 degrees apart.
australia – shot in january from space
and on the ground, in australia. the trees are so hot they have not stopped burning.
as my aussie grandson, m, once said, on his first winter visit to the states, when looking out the window of the cottage –
‘look peaches, there must be a fire!’
‘oh, m, don’t worry, that’s just blowing snow.’
‘oh, then there must be some snow on fire.’
has hell frozen over?, i wondered.
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. – William Shakespeare
