The Heat Advisory out of KBTV issued by the National Weather Service station, puts a summer vibe over the day here in Vermont.
Outdoors, I put up the small umbrella to shade part of the concrete deck. Indoors, the cool A/C air is much appreciated. It is muggy out there.
Please, review hot weather safety tips at weather.gov. Update your vehicle’s hot weather safety pack.
Spruce trees up ( i typed only spruce up) your summer wardrobe with light shirts, shorts, for gals flowy skirts, sundresses and loose linen tops. After all, shlepping across the parking lot in the brutally hot sun, you might as well look stylish.

Update 15 June 2026: whatever flower it may be, today I found the plant drooping over near dead. The flowers nearby are upright and appear to be fine. I have no idea why one plant fails while others don’t.
It looks like a broken stem, but I’ve found none.
Remember Aunt Clara from Bewitched? She loved doorknobs. Shade covering sounds good.

ReplyDeleteOld door knobs that are normal, are fun to collect.

Umbrella's are so handy to have for shade.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite bird is the Robin ... but my drawings are not too good!!!
All the best Jan
Jan,
DeleteThe UK robins are adorable compared to American robins.Uk robins look like they just came out of a fancy tea room. American robins look like they just flew through a wilderness survival course.

She loved them in real-life I believe I heard too. Aunt Clara.
ReplyDeleteoooh - I'd love a mango smoothie right about now! But....at over $3 for one solitary mango, it's not going to happen.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention door knobs because that very subject came up earlier this week. Someone I follow had one mounted on a nice piece of wood and she was using it to hang things from. Reminded me that I kept a glass knob for years, not knowing what to do with it, and I finally sent it to the thrift store. Now I wish I had it!
Maryanne,
DeleteAfter selling online began, a good vintage door knob isn’t easy to find. Your donated door knob probably has somebody’s hat hanging on it.
