Goshhh it's so hot here as well! Rain just seems to be never coming! It's playing with us! Once there are clouds but so much humidity and the raindrops just disguise away..ahh.. I'm yearning for some monsoon bliss! Record breaking summer here. Such a fun footle you've woven! I wanna try this form! Sending you light and best wishes always, dear Paula.

Love these well crafted footles, Paula. I can relate, because it's been consistently hot, as well as rainy here, for the longest time. :)
