"Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart." --- Martin Luther King Jr. Yep, that quote is the one to start my blog tonite. I have been blessed in my life in that I have quite a few people that are special to my heart that I truly do not need to use words to communicate with. I mean, all I have to do is think about a few of them and outta the blue the phone rings and we can speak a few words and then just sit and laugh together, or sing some silly song back and forth or just listen to the other breath without one moment of awkwardness. *big heart sigh*
It is the same with some special people in my life, we could go camping or to a movie, or to a concert, etc., etc, etc... and just by the smile, just by the touch of one hand reaching out to the other, the wink, the laugh.. we know what we are thinking because of that inaudible language of the heart. We are bound together by the beams that flow from each of our hearts back to the other because we opened that window and invited that unspoken language in.
I just truly ENJOY these people.. it doesn't matter where we are, what we are doing, if we are in a crowd, or alone, I just ENJOY the hell outta being in their presence because they glow.
And this is deep shit that is permeating my thoughts tonite cuz you gotta understand that it is hotter than I imagine hell to be here for the last 3 or 4 days... top that off with a dab of hot flashes and a whole cupful of humidity and I am likening myself to a damp sock... sticky, wet and smelly. That's right .. I am like that sock, I smell because any amount of moving in this hot souplike air makes you sweat buckets and that my friend does not come in Chanel #9 scent.
As I am, by nature of the beast (and I am speaking of moi here.. not to get your tighty whities in a bunch) a planner. So when I heard it was gonna get progressively hotter each day of the weekend, I chose to cut the friggin field and do the trimming in the least hot and humid day... Friday... I had to finish up the trimming and do the mucking yesterday and I gotta tell you.. God knew what the heck he was doing by making me a Northern gal.. How the hell do you Southern Belles handle this chit???? So yesterday, I turned on the AC units, and set about doing indoor work, cleaning out closets and making packages for the Sallies and for the SPCA (they take old blankets and sheets and towels for the animals) and today when the thermometer hit 97 degrees with a 95% humidity tossed into the ante to make sure we would asphyxiate on our own sweat, I headed to the basement to Shop Vac the floors and walls and ceilings to make sure that no brown recluse would be sneaking up on this ole gal. I even tuned in to Ice Road Truckers (God I love that show.. I wanna drive one of them thar trucks over the frozen ocean one day)...those boys sure as hell do as the theme song.. "Livin' on the Edge". See: Yeah, Baby.....
And just a short time ago, a rain cloud got lost on its way to somewhere else and decided to let some lovely drops loose and I went out and stood in it.. along with it came the finest lightning and thunder ever.. I just love good ole storms...
So I am off to sweep while it is cool.. but damn.. I just gotta say, I am glad I am a Northerner....
and for gramps:
FIVE BEST THINGS TO SAY IF YOU GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK:
NUMBER 5: 'They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen.'
NUMBER 4 : 'This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time-management course you sent me to.'
NUMBER 3 : 'Whew!? Guess I left the top off the White-out. You probably got here just in time!'
NUMBER 2: 'Did you ever notice sound coming out of these keyboards when you put your ear down real close?'
And the NUMBER ONE best thing to say if you get caught sleeping at your desk: (Raising your head slowly) '... in Jesus' name, Amen'

You're my type of woman. Cuttin the friggin field is exactly how I like it. I don't understand the "mucking" part but I suppose it's one of those colloquialisms from yer parts.
Yep, you got the right idea!

101 here yesterday and yes, 95% humidity, and no rain in the forecast. It's been three weeks without a drop now.
How the hell do you Southern Belles handle this chit???? Hmmm... As a transplanted Midwesterner who's lived in the deep south for nearly 20 years, all I can say is:
It's not supposed to be like this in June!!!

Girls, girls! Cali is beckoning? Can you hear it? Listen closely...it's whispering...
Come to Cali...temperate climate...no humidity...
See that? Did you hear?
I just got back from taking the puppy for a beautiful stroll around the wetlands...and I'm kicking myself for not taking my camera!!! For there, in the middle of the wetland, stood a beautiful Egret! There was a large bush as a backdrop for the amazing sight, and all I could think was, "Next time, bring your camera!"
He looked a little like this:
