Oy, it's hot...
Greetings, family and friends, from Twin Falls, Idaho. Today is Friday, July 12....
It's been hot. Temperatures here in southern Idaho have been in triple digits every day since I posted last weekend. My tiny cat brain keeps forgetting how hot it is outside, and I keep asking at the door to go for my walk or outdoor time....
As soon as one of the humans opens the door to let me out and I am hit with the blast of hot air, I insist on going back in immediately. Note how red my nose is (from the heat), as I patiently wait to go back in....
This happens a dozen times per day. I've not, however, forgotten the exact spot where the air conditioning vent shoots cooled air onto my bed, so I've been spending the majority of my days there.
Mark and Jan have spent much of their time this week at home hiding from the heat. They've done their exploring early in the mornings or in the evenings, spending the midday hours at home, disturbing my naps. It's OK, though--I understand their need to stay cool.
We've not gone far since we left the Boise area Monday. We spent one night at a Harvest Host winery/golf course...
As you can see, Mark and I took a walk on the golf course, specifically a "fairway." Strangely, the "fairway" felt a lot like grass under my paws, and even smelled and tasted like grass. I'm thinking they may make fairways out of grass and are fooling the humans by giving it a different name.
Monday, we travelled a short distance to Twin Falls. We are staying at a beautiful county park (with big, fat groundhogs) along Rock Creek. See the picture above.
The humans' adventures here have included a trip to Shoshone Falls, known as the Niagara Falls of the west....
