Hot weather slows us down

We took a family train ride to Durham today, then rode our bikes around the city for two hours. It was fun but, boy, were we all soaked with sweat by the time we had lunch. After our ride we drove over to Ridge Road Pool but didn’t even get out of the car before the thunder cleared the pool. Then we didn’t even get cooled off by the thunderstorm because it never got near us. Thanks for nothing, storm!

I was planning to get in another ride Sunday morning with my neighbor and brother but the heat index Sunday will be 102 degrees. No thanks! I think I’ll pace myself during outdoor time tomorrow.

During breakfast I found my mind wandering in an effort to escape the heat. I daydreamed of what it must be like in the San Juan Islands right now. Then I made the mistake of checking the forecast.

High of 67 degrees today. Arrghh! I so wish we could afford to jet up there again for another week of cool weather and gorgeous scenery. It was almost cruel to think about.
