It’s getting hot in here…
It is July. The skies are a beautiful blue (when it’s not storming like a really angry superhero) and the mountains are clear. It is also hot. I love hot. My dogs do not love hot. Why do I love hot? I love hot because it is not cold. Not rocket science, people. I am Read More
