Beat the Heat -

It's so hot here, that Public Schools are closing early today!
No, not due to snow...due to excessive HEAT

We have heat advisories in effect for our area now with forecasters calling for
99 degrees.
I am thinking lots of ice cream....and the pool!
How about you?

How do you beat the heat?

    Ha, we haven't had any heat to try and beat, it was only in the low 60's yesterday and suppose to be the same today, throw in some rain for good measure. We have only had a couple of days in the low 70's and one in the low 80's since last September.

    You must be in the North East with me. Some of my schools in our district had to do the same thing since they don't have A/C. Too bad my son's school was not effected. Your sketch is adorable <3

    Ice tea, Ice cream, Pool and take a nap...we are in the same boat. I truly can't remember when we've had a day that did NOT reach 90; it's been at least a month. But I can not complain because well, I don't like winter!
    love your illustration :)

    I haven't had to worry about it being too hot, but when it does get a bit warmer than I'd like I treat myself to a tall cool glass of ice tea, close the curtains and sit in a darkened room. Love the sketch. xoxo

    Love your illustrations Heather! Your characters have such sweetness! I hope you cool off somehow...I'm bummed to hear of all that excessive heat! I like to cool off with a fan, the pool, and something refreshing to drink. : ) Take good care!

    We've had mostly an awful spring season, overcast and rainy, other than 2 very hot days this week. For me, I like to enjoy ice cream, lots of it, lol! and cold glasses of water with strawberries and lemons in it for flavoring.
    hope it cools down for you soon

    Oh wow? Really? they close schools from too much heat? Well that is jolly decent of them , don;t you think? I'd hate that sort of heat but a day off at home woudl be great...well, that is, assuming one had air conditioning!

    Priceless artwork again, dear heather. you are so talented and inspirational. you really are. :)
