When the weekend temperature is near 100 degrees and the humidity is high...

When the flowers in your garden look wilted and seem to be crying out for water...

....... we all are so thankful for the privilege of being invited to my brother and SIL's "farm pond" for the day!  Yes, that was certainly the place to be.  All of the extended family (that it suited) headed west, for a day of fun being together.

Young and old alike.  For this little guy, it was his first kayak experience.....at least on this pond.

Here father and daughter seemed thrilled to be together.

Second cousins learning to know each other for the first time.

 

I loved watching the older ones taking an interest in helping the younger ones.

 

Then of course, we are always thankful for our Aunt Lou who kindly makes us her
specialty iced coffee drinks.  They are exceptionally delicious in any type of weather,
but even better in this heat.

We are all most grateful for our host and hostess, and our day at the farm!!!!

I hope you are able to stay cool today!

Thanks for stopping by!
