We're hot!

Best friends Nova and Adelina

You can almost hear the whining. It's too hot for biking-riding in the Methow Valley this week, and the faces on these poor little drama queens say it all.  Seattle is uncomfortably warm for most people, but eastern Washington is in the middle of a historic heat wave. Many cities are breaking their all time high temperature records:

Scorching hot, windy and dry- a dreadful combination for wildfires and the summer just getting started.  You've probably seen the bad news from Wenatchee.

Anyway, there are consolations for hot little girls, like ice cream cones at the Winthrop parlor. When Amanda sent this picture yesterday, it reminded me of another hot summer excursion to Winthrop, six years ago.

Yes, those tiny red polka dot legs belong to newborn Nova.  Too young for ice cream that day, but not for long. Where does the time go?
