I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend. It was a hot one here. I think I heard that we tied a record at 106 but when I was out in the afternoon my dashboard said 109. I’m going with that. To add insult to injury, I was at JCPenney making a return and as I was waiting in line I noticed they were playing Christmas music. In particular Winter Wonderland. Right… Anyway, now I’m just counting down until I am in a colder climate.
I also stopped by the library but only to return books. I didn’t even go in. I know, shock. As we’re going on vacation soon I don’t want to have any library books out. I may check out some via Overdrive but we’ll see. I actually have plenty of eGalleys and books I’ve bought so I should focus on those.
This weekend I focused on finishing Our Short History by Lauren Grodstein. I’ll tell you more about that book soon but there’s one part where the main character references a few poetry lines and I loved them. I felt like I’d heard them before so I quickly went to Google to search and easily I found the poem, Recuerdo by Edna St. Vincent Millay.
I’m sure I’ve read this poem before but I think it’s been a while so I was glad to have “found” it again. This time I printed out a copy and added it to my poetry journal. I think I need to read more by Millay. If you have a collection recommendation please let me know.
Alright, it’s time to catch up on some tv crime drama. Hope you have a great week ahead and let me know what you’ve been up to!
What??? Christmas music in July??? That’s just wrong.
Our heat indexes have been that high and higher, but we have not had 100+ temperatures yet. Just unbelievable humidity. It would add insult to injury to hear Christmas music when it was 106
Oh ugh, that’s hot! Maybe they were trying to help everyone feel cooler with the Christmas music? But yeah, it would seem like an insult to me too.
June/July is always the hottest month! And I wonder why would they play Christmas music in the middle of the year? Perhaps they’re trying to be funny. Hmm.
109?! Yuck, yuck, yuck! I’m in Canada right now, but I hear it’s going to be pretty hot in Oregon in the next day or two. What a summer. Hope you have a good vacation. Germany again??
