It's hot here

Some of Big Girl's herbs are dying off in the oppressive heat. We're under water restrictions due to the severe drought, and my beautiful hanging basket of impatiens looks all but dead. The dogs lay around in the shade, panting. We hide inside the house and scurry out to get the newspaper or mail, then run back inside to the comfort of air conditioning. Bleh. The hottest days of summer in Georgia leave me tired, physically and mentally.
