5. Today's official high was 97
Fri Sep 21, 2012, 08:36 PM
Sep 2012

but the back porch thermometer read 106 at 2:00 p.m.

Tomorrow's high forecasted to be 104, Sunday cooling down to 102.

In the early 1980s, when I was suffering through bitter winters and sticky summers in Indiana and longing to move to Arizona, I swore I would never complain about the heat.

I take notice of it, but I do not complain about it. Haven't for 27 years.

A friend brought chocolate chip cookies to coffee this morning, cookies made with 1/3 mesquite flour milled from the beans from her own tree. That's a happy harvest!
