The past few days have been miserably hot and horrid in New England. It is sometimes hard to believe that just few months ago we had 2 feet of snow lying on the ground and now the ground temperature is somewhere in the 90+ deg. What is a tad worrying is that we have not reached the height of summer as yet, which at current rate promises to be one miserable mess of a weather.

Thankfully, I have a fantastic home, with a basement, that stays at 62 deg (psst... it is where all the wine is stored, hic!) in there. I really don't start the air conditioner or the fan upstairs. Why use, if I don't really need it! So, I am hibernating in my basement with my laptop. Thank goodness for wireless access point, I have great signal even in the basement. 

I know it is too dang hot, when both Duke and Princess (*my littie kitties), have been sprawled in front of me on the cold concreted basement floor. I had to move all the food and water (er... for the cats) to the basement, because I saw they refused to go up!  I also realize how 'long' the kitties can really stretch..... dang! Both the little ones can bundle into little furry balls of about 6-9 inchs diameter, but when the occassion (such as hot weather) calls for it, they can stretch up to almost 2 feet from nose to hind leg paw! Wow, call about elasticity! Princess who always.... I mean always sleeps like a royality, is stretched and sprawled like a little drunken minx!

I want rain.... goodness sakes some rain, pleeeaaassseee!
