It's hot here!  But such is this time of year.  I run across people who seem to think this heat thing unusual.  I disagree.
I'd be shocked if temps were in the 70's or 80's.  Just won't happen.  Never has as I recall.  Summer heat is on full throttle.  Gotta deal with it until Fall.  I remind myself to hydrate and find shade or air conditioning when possible and just deal with it.  No brainer, right?  Ha

PRESENTING JULY 3rd WEDNESDAY READER:

LESLIE ELMAN'S TRIVIA AND FASCINATING FACTS
Are so interesting to me.  Frankly, super fascinating.

QUICK QUESTION
What's the most beautiful place I have personally seen?
Hands down - the Grand Tetons.  You?

COLLECTION OF OXYMORONS
Are make-ya-look-think-scratch your head and chuckle! 
Might you have another 1 or 2 to add to the list?

EASY BUTTERMILK PIE RECIPE
Slice of delish.  I like to top my slice of buttermilk pie with bananas.  But strawberries and peaches are stellar as well.
Don't forget the fresh whipped cream.  Deal breaker if you don't (unless you just dislike fresh whipped cream - that would be absolutely crazy talk to me - ha!)

Shazam (!) and just like that May has arrived!

Time (weeks, months) seems to pass and sneak up fast.

Mittens + famous writers' being rejected + porcupines.  Intriguing.

QUICK QUESTION
I didn't or don't recall every having an imaginary friend as a kid.  However, I remember my grandma telling stories about Boo-Boo-Shorty - the imaginary friend my uncle had as a kid.  Funny!  Did you have an imaginary friend as a kid?

It's "hump day" as it's been dubbed.  Half-way through the work week.
Hold tight - Friday and the weekend are on their way!

Presenting Wednesday Reader.  Whole bunch of fun packed in today!

Beginning with:

LESLIE ELMAN
Did you know what the "pearls" are in a cup of BOBA -- or Bubble Tea are?
I didn't!  Pretty cool, for sure.  I'm gonna seek a cuppa BOBA next time I see a shop offering it to really give it a tasty-taste!

QUICK QUESTION
Weirdest thing by my bed is a can of wasp spray.  And it's not for wasps.
In the unlikely event that an intruder enters my home -- I'm armed and ready!  Pretty sure I got the idea from a movie I saw a long time ago.  Makes sense to me.   You?

SIGNS IN THE KITCHEN
Are a crack up!

SMOKED SALMON NICOISE SALAD RECIPE
Is kisses to the sky delish!  I actually prefer the canned tuna over smoked salmon.  Both fish great options for this salad + a glass of cold Rose wine.
