Yesterday was the first day in over 60 that the temperature did not go over 100 degree.
We even have a low of 59 for Tuesday night. With such an extreme summer, we are speculating that the winter is going to be just as extreme. Well, I hope that means more snow this year. This area isn't prone to much snow but a girl can hope.
The dry hot weather has done one thing that I find awesome. Dead animals have been mainly desiccating and I've been finding awesome specimens. A month ago I found a bird that had been hollowed out by ants and dried out by the weather. Aside from having no eyes, it looks perfect. And today a found a mummified cat skull. Very creepy and awesome. There's also a deer and a small black dog on the side of the road. I would love to get the deer skull but the body is mangled and I would probably need to bring the whole thing home as so with the dog. Might still do it though.
Currently I am once again obsessed with menhdi. Sometimes I think I was seriously born in the wrong country.
When I finally have the extra cash to order the henna for my hair, I'm definitely going to order some to do menhdi with too. It's been a few years and my skills probably are weak but I've got plenty of time to practice.
New food related obsession Gojee.com
It's a website that allows you to choose a food item you want to cook with and it pulls recipes from various blogs. You can also choose to list items you don't like and usually they will not come up in the related recipes though I found that a few do but it's because they are not a listed ingredient and in most cases I can adapt the recipe to my needs or just skip over it and keep looking. The recipes are awesome and the images will make you drool. You need to set up an account but it's free and it saves your preferences so it's worth the effort which I think was just an email address and a password. Check it out.
I recently acquired a new SG group so along with PenPals, House MD and Citizens of the Moo I'm the proud owner of Artists
We have some really talented people on this site you should go and check them out. The group isn't just for those that create art. It's also for those the love art.
Speaking of art this image came across my tumblr
It took me a moment to see the 'Wow' factor.
I leave you with this thought:
Much love and eat your veggies
