I told my husband it almost seems like fall. I wonder how long it will last before we get another heat wave. The mountain areas are supposed to be getting more rain this weekend. I don't think my town will see any though.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-55640317059493890742014-08-07T17:43:43.484-07:002014-08-07T17:43:43.484-07:00I hope the weather cools down over there soon.

I was so disgusted with Israel's war and was sharing this disgust so freely that I thought I needed to reinforce my non-anti-Semitism by reading some books by Jewish-identified authors. "Guide" was very richly layered, an enjoyable read that reminded me a bit of "Where'd you go, Bernadette?" (crazy mom character who disappears), another recent fave.Greta https://www.blogger.com/profile/04253301889379618401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-76631338849706643342014-08-06T10:12:29.696-07:002014-08-06T10:12:29.696-07:00Charlie - I am glad we just missed the rain too! ...Charlie - I am glad we just missed the rain too! <br /><br />I really enjoyed the trilogy, especially taking into consideration the different ways people might react to the possible end of the world.

Bribery isn't cutting it as she wants something more immediate than "tomorrow." I loved seeing all of your picture from the park--it looks like y'all had such a fun time. <br /><br />I have seen so much about the rain and the fires in California. Hope you get some relief soon. Our summer has been fairly moderate but I think our problem is too many communities drawing water from the same lakes without enough rain to replenish. If it's not one thing...<br /><br />Hope you can get some reading in! I just finished a short little book and have no idea what to start next.
