desert blooms at noon days of drought in the deep south when love first ignites a summer heat wave quickly melting ice cream cones wild activity the long torrid nights a profuse early blooming sun's constant presence

I believe there is a song called fever a long time ago. You portray hot days very well. Kudos to you.

You've taken me back a ways here, Evelyn. I remember open porches on hot summer Midwest nights, always wondering how my grandmother in Houston, TX survived down there before a/c. Thanks, gw

You're very welcome. There's nothing like summer when the thermometer rises. It's a challenge even in the north. But it's nice to imagine those days in wintertime. :=)
