Heat wave

The desert southwest may break all-time heat records this weekend, with the temperatures in Phoenix and Las Vegas close to 120 degrees.  Death Valley may reach 130.  Seattle will be at the same weather party, and it might be 90 here by early next week.  After a stormy, wet week, a massive ridge of high pressure is building over the western part of the country.  You might hear our complaining all the way back to the east coast-- most people in the Northwest hate hot weather.   

What this means for me is watering and more watering, because I'll be taking care of a neighbor's yard along with ours next week.  We also have a busy weekend coming up.  I'm volunteering with my friend Dolly on Saturday at the Little Bit Therapeutic Horse Show, which will be fun but a long day, and on Sunday we have our last symphony of the season.  The program includes selections from Wagner, and the Saint-Saens "Organ Symphony," which sounds like heavy going for a warm summer afternoon.  More on that Monday.  In the meantime, have a wonderful weekend wherever you are!
