A brutal heat wave is predicted for this weekend, temperatures close to 100 and the very high humidity will make it feel like a lot warmer, or so they say. That kind fo heat and humidity gets to me, I will stay cool and inside.

I usually at warnings for people with heart disease to be careful of this kind of heat, but I will be careful, it does affect me.

Tomorrow, Maria and I are going off to celebrate our eighth wedding anniversary. We found a nice inexpensive hotel in Massachusetts, and we are going to see a play and then, the new Mr. Rogers documentary.

Sunday morning, we’ll head for Mass MOCA, the museum in Adams, Mass., and then home. We’ll be gone about 24 hours and the faithful Nicole is coming  to watch the farm. The animals always seem to know when a heat wave is coming, Fate, who always sits out in the sun, has already retreated to the shade of the apple tree, and the donkeys and sheep are moving to the Pole Barn.

None of them – even the dogs – will move too much in that kind of heat. Me either.
