This old timer isn’t in use but makes an excellent decoration, right? I’ll be staying indoors mostly today and with a projected high temperature of 112, I don’t even want to take the truck out anywhere since the extra heat is tough on any engine. It was a perfect temperature at 87F very early this morning when I went outside to top off the bird baths for my feathered friends. The other photos are of a very old hood ornament which I would have to ask my dad about the details.

Not too warm here, only 27 Celsius today. We just got back from Africa and it was about 27 Celsius the last few days we were there. Cute hood ornament !
My main event today is Laundry and thankfully they have a/c in the laundry room plus it’s only a few steps away.
That’s great, take your time doing laundry if you can! This summer has been a serious scorcher so far. Be careful!
Yeah, I might just bring the laundry home and fold it here.
It will dry quickly in the heat, I sometimes put my laundry in the hot backyard sun over the table and chairs. It dries really fast.
It seems like someone is keeping the hydrant in fine shape! Stay cool!
My dad put that there a long time ago, it has held up very well!
We heard about the extreme temperatures you are experiencing… Staying indoors and air conditioning on, that’s all you can do now. By the way, many other areas are groaning under the heat, including Southern Europe (all countries around the Mediterranean Sea. Temperatures here currently remain below 30°C. Keep it cool Timothy and keep it safe.
I sure will, Rudi. I’m sure they are to hot as well. John.
A classic! Is it in your garden now?
Thanks, sadly no. It is still back in Michigan. ☹️
