heat



A little drawing from my sketchbook.

Today is day two of our little "heat wave" here in NYC. Yesterday the heat index was over a hundred. Luckily for me, I was kidnapped in the late afternoon by friends, and whisked off to Jacob Riis park, where there is a lovely beach.
Upon returning home, my little fifth floor apartment was resembling toaster oven. I'm very happy to finally count myself among the air-conditioned, if only in one room. Genius invention!

The pumpkin vines, on the other hand, are not so lucky. They wither in this heat.
