Today at Iten's Acres: Summertime and the Living is . . . June 21, 2013

Summertime in Ohio is here!  Officially and actually.  If you were going to print out a brochure describing the typical Ohio day in the summer, you would just have to describe today.  Hot.  Near ninety.  Humidity.  Near a million.  Okay, a little exaggeration, but not much.  It was almost too hot and humid to "work."  Almost.  I probably lost a few pounds in a very short time of weeding and mulching.  It was suffocating.  The outlaws behind their invisible barrier were all stretched out in the shade.  Even Big Brown who is free to roam was only intent on getting a shade tan.  He did take a quick dip in the pond--just to make his doggy friends jealous, I'm sure--but then back to the comfort of the trees.  It was even hot work just to walk the Acres.  Hey, just to sit on the green throne and look at everything was hot!  Summertime in Ohio.  The day did end with the obligatory thunderstorm--which was gorgeous.  And the lightning bugs did play laser tag late into the night.  They must not mind the heat since they carry their own fire.  Anyway, it was a summer's day in Morrow County.  "Summertime, and the living is sweaty."  Yuk.
