The Heat is On

Today has been another scorching day. We're well into the 90's and the prediction is for the temps to grow increasingly hotter throughout the week. Staying inside seems to be the option of choice for most people and pets. I venture out after work to put fresh water in the bird bath because the wildlife definitely suffers in such extreme temperatures, too. I'm sure the birds are amazed at how quickly this old lady can fill up the community watering trough before beating a path back into the house.

My Indy-Boy is looking shaggy and uncomfortable, so it's about time to schedule another visit for him at the groomer. His summer buzz cut is not only fashionable, but a must in heat.

Bogey is not allowed outside. Therefore he simply doesn't get what all the fuss is about as he lounges in his splendiforous new bed.

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

On another note (pun intended), I bought this vintage sheet music (circa 1939) from an antique shop.

I thought I knew the music by heart, but was surprised to learn that "Over the Rainbow" had a short introduction with lyrics I'd never heard before. It definitely did not appear in the movie. Any "Wizard of Oz" buffs know the story on this?

From heat to rainbows to wishes...hope all of you have a great evening! Stay cool!
