Today i am being the good aunt--
I am going to watch my niece play ball again....
They have only won 4 games this year...
can you say
"LONG SEASON?"
3:50 pm--at the softball field....
Sun is at 10o'clock in the west
It has gotten hot! Not warm.....
HOT!
Just a week ago I was wearing a sweatshirt...
and today i am m-elt-ing.....
I was at least smart enough to anticipate the heat--
well actually i listened to the news and they told me...
so i whipped out the shorts today-
and my winter white legs are exposed...
I am feeling NO shame for this
except--
for the fact that i could have shaved better...
It is amazing what you can see when the sun is shining down on you...
I am feeling a bit glisten--eeee (because girls don't sweat)
AHHHHH--
an ever so gentle breeze--
but it is air--that is moving just the same--
what a difference a bit of air makes....
Even my drink which still has ice rattling around in it does not feel cold anymore...
Umbrellas have been pulled out
--not to be used in case of rain--
they are used as shade here.
really it just gives us a chance to actually use them,because we all know that we don't actually go out in the rain. When it does actually rain we stay inside and watch it--then when it is over we leave....
During our winter I relish our tepid weather--
forgetting how hot it really does get...
until days like this....
We make comments on those wonderful days
that this is why we live here.
We rub in our wonderful weather to those who are freezing their buns off in other places--
and then the heat comes on with a vengeance.
It arrives in the form of a HOT flash...
Something nobody wants...
and we all get far too soon....

Yes you are the good Aunt, however you are still being paid to be there.
I could have opted to stay in the shade or on the air conditioned bus doing my thing but i did choose to go out and watch the game even though i knew what the eventual outcome would be--I even yelled--not often because there was not much to cheer about--but i was one of three spectators for our school....
