Day 229 - Windmill Palm

229/365 (August 17, 2010) – Hot again today. Went for a 2 hour motorcycle ride, thought that might cool me off, I thought wrong. Came home and wilted on the deck but thought the light coming through a windmill palm leaf looked rather nice from my upside-down hanging head perspective.

Did go out for an evening on a friend’s boat and that did finally provide some relief from the heat.

The forecast is for cooler weather…..the plants will be happier too.

I really like the crop, paige.
Out on a boat sounds like a great place to spend a hot summer’s day. I’ve been hearing from the Sunshine Coast that it’s hot, hot, hot. We could use somma that here! Talk about backwards!

Thanks all.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/barefootin/] Yes, it’s been baking…which is probably why half the province is on fire.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/ladyrivermouse/] Not really, although we do tend to get a week or so of heat most years….but I am a cooler climate type of person. Had a bit of cloud this morning, which was a relief.
