Temperatures to day were in the mid 90 F here in North Carolina. You know it is hot when the squirrel is stretched out on my chair in the shade and I am sitting inside with the AC running!
Midsummer heat wave
Squirrel and I try to keep cool
No showers in sight

It is one of those days for sure. Not much movement and close to a cool spot.

An interesting piece of poetry. Thank you for sharing. Question: Did you mean to write the word “site” rather than “sight?” I am just curious because it is a nice play on words, in my humble opinion! ☺

Thank you so much. I tend to interchange the two words if I am not careful. Thanks for catching that!

That first photo in particular is just priceless! I have never, ever seen a squirrel spread-eagled on the back of a chair.
