Productive despite the heat
A several-day-long heatwave finally broke last night. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude celebrated by going for a leisurely walk in the rain this morning; we spent several minutes watching a small flock of goldfinches eating chicory seeds next to the bikeway.
Despite the heat, I have done some gardening—though that includes going out for five minutes to harvest cherry tomatoes as gardening. The cucumbers are not in good shape; I need to go remove several sad yellow ones and probably some dead leaves, and I don't know whether I will get any more cukes this season. A cucumber I bought at the farmers' market on Wednesday was bitter and not very flavorful, so it may not just be my garden.
I got a moderate amount of proofreading done, including finishing that math book, despite the heat, but a lot of it involved sitting down, doing 2-4 pages, and then going back into the air conditioned bedroom to cool off.
We have just had an air conditioner installed in the living room, so I expect to be significantly more comfortable for the rest of the summer.

The combination of rare, small, agile, and colorful makes me flail with delight every time I spot one. They are special to my mom, too, since they were commoner where she grew up and they remind her of her childhood home. And they are so lively and fun to watch.
Congrats of gardening and work-work!

Someone I know who lives in your vague geographic area has apparently been very disappointed in emself for not getting an air conditioner yet due to wonky HOA approval processes. I told em it would have been worse if ey were in Texas like me…
The climate goes *vrmmmmm*. The lifeforms go “aaaaa”.

I'm told HOAs might have Opinions about what counts as a weed in my garden that differ from mine. (Dandelion is a salad green with attractive flowers, and sorrel is a fine ground cover.)
