priteeboy, Matthew

I love it. The softness of him is really wonderful. His expression is one of deep thought, he is literally in another world, you have captured this so elegantly.

 Next week it is going to be "Dangerously Hot" here, the thermometer may approach 100 degrees, highly unusual for this area and almost unheard of in this late of the season, the Jet stream has migrated way up into Canada. It going to last they say at least a week. I will have the Air Conditioning on, Mum has breathing issues when it gets hot. I really don't like Air conditioning but the humidity here gets up to around 90% which is like standing in a Steam room--very uncomfortable. The Ash trees wilt their leaves and our Tulip tree folds it leaves over. At night it may drop down to 75, that is about where the normal high would be. In about 3 months it could very well be about 10 above zero here! I am using the Fahrenheit scale here as is most of the U.S. Metric and Celsius scale are out of favor here. Even though is it warm some trees are beginning to shed their leaves, the daylight here is over an hour shorter now than in May. In May it would stay light until about 10 P.M. and sunrise about 5:15 A.M. Love it! There will probably be a large breakout of storms when this heat regime moderates and then we will plunge into cold for a few days then will moderate to Autumn temperatures in the 60's for a while until the real cold invades--yuck! I so prefer a constant temp with a little variation and low humidity. Not going to happen here!
