HOT

It's summer and it is hot hot HOT. Hecklers are out in full force in downtown Raleigh, hooting and shouting sweet nothings -
"Where have you been all my life, angel?!"
"Hello, beautiful!"
And the best one, from a young man waiting out front of a store on Wilmington Street yesterday - "right now I'm wishin' I was a little older!"
He was very young and cute, so that one was a little more sweet than icky. Just a little.
Shucks, fellas, thanks.
But generally, they're not so bad - there's not a whole lot that could scare me in broad daylight on a busy street. It is strange behavior, though. Does that ever work, do ladies ever go for a random catcaller on the street? Doesn't it scare off more ladies than it attracts?
Anyway, high temps mean the garden is growing at what seems like warp speed, weeds and all. Check out the giant, GREEN tomatoes. We keep thinking, oh, they'll turn red any day, but they don't. They just keep getting biggeR!

I'm headed to the beach for the weekend, but not for fun.....for work! Not that work won't be fun, it will, and not that I won't squeeze in a little beach time on the side, I will, but it's less fun to go to the beach without friends, or even the dog. AND I have to wake up at an ungodly hour of the morning tomorrow. Bleh, I am so not a morning person.
