Fate is usually impervious to weather, she runs and runs in cold, rain, sleet and heat. We are in another “heat advisory,” another day of warnings for people like me – older men with heart disease, etc. I am warned to stay indoors, drink lots of liquids, do little or no work.

(I wish someone would ban warnings. I’ll drink some liquids. Life doesn’t stop for me when it gets hot and humid.)

I knew it was going to be a hot day when Fate came in from the pasture, she was running in circles around the sheep, and just lay down on the grass with her tongue out. It takes a lot of heat to wear  Fate out.
