July Heat

In July

I'll take a peep

into the cool

and fishy deep

where chicken soup

is selling cheap.

Selling once

selling twice

selling chicken soup

with rice.

a poem from one of my favorite authors

Chicken Soup with Rice ~ A Book of Months

by Maurice Sendak


Ya know what's particularly funny? 
We've had unseasonably cool weather the last week or so.
We were bundled up in sweatshirts watching the fireworks last weekend!
In fact, it's only in the 70s today.
It's not quite feeling like July, but I'm not complaining.
As soon as this weather turns itself around, we'll be hot as firecrackers, I'm sure.

Hope you all are keeping warm ... or keeping cool, whatever the case may be ;)
Happy first day of July.

Who doesn't love a good party?!
