Heat Wave

It's been unreasonably hot here in Wisconsin, and it has everyone behaving strangely. Lately Lucky has been determinedly chewing the grass in my artificial flower arrangement. At the same time he's been completely ignoring my real plants on the other side of the kitchen. Now the grass in my blue vase looks like it was mowed, but my actual plants are thriving.

Meals have gotten weird too. Neither Mike nor I have had much urge to cook, so we're foraging for whatever we can get. Last night my dinner consisted mostly of water and Mike'n'Ikes. Mike ate marshmallows dipped into things. To be precise, yogurt and peanut butter. When I asked him how it was, he said that the yogurt-and-marshmallow combo wasn't too good, but the peanut-butter-and-marshmallow was like "eating a little piece of heaven."

The only consolation is that the heat has apparently killed the night spider which has been living on our window for the past several weeks. Unless he's just hanging out in his web int he daytime now with all his legs curled up.

I wouldn't put it past him. The heat has affected everyone's judgement.
