For those of you who live in the Austin area, you are all too familiar with the mid-summer blues that creep up once the triple digits arrive. The Sprucettes are sweating it out for the third annual summer in the back workshop. Even Pixie is doing her best to stay cool with a new haircut and “Kool Collar.” So far, our record temperature is 94 degrees, which we have hit nearly every day since August 1, and we’re hoping that’s as high as it goes.
Here are some things I’ve been daydreaming about in the hot afternoons.
