Yesterday and today were very hot! Yep, that's how summer begins in Iowa!! Look at this poor robin..I think he was panting.
I'm always amazed at the fact that things (weeds and or grass) grow from the cracks in the cement. Unbelievable! How does that happen?? I've yet to figure it out!
Yesterday we went out for a bite to eat at one of the drive thru's...one we hadn't been to in years!! (It wasn't as good as we remembered it), but we had been saying every time we drove by, we've got to stop and get a bite there sometime! So we parked under a shade tree (see the shadow of the tree on the pavement?) It was nice to get out of the heat.
Actually there was a DQ next door, and next time that's where we'll eat...lol
Tom spotted this older man riding his bike around across the street up and down by the car wash. Then he sander ed across the busy street and pulled under the shade tree, opposite us. Tom said, 'oh, he's going to have a cigarette!' And sure enough, he sat on his bike and smoked his cigarette. I tried so hard to get a picture of him either taking a drag or blowing the smoke out. But I didn't do very good. I thought it was funny, when that little girl drove by on her pretty pink bike. Both ends of the spectrum...young and old alike love to ride their bikes on a summer day. Do any of you still ride a bike?? Another day, I will share a 'true' story about Tom deciding to ride a bike again...until then......shot time...good night!
