When it gets hot in Davis, it gets very very hot. It hit over a hundred degrees today, and we haven’t had rain since oh before you were born. I am not looking forward to July; that’s when the Central Valley simply redefines hot. It is not a fun place to be.
And so I went out in it to draw. There was a breeze, albeit a hot breeze. I had promised myself it would be a drawing day, and so lunchtime I went to the arboretum, found a shady spot, and drew the greenhouse. I’m sure I want to say somehing about the greenhouse effect, but I won’t, I’m too hot.
In other news: I was sad to hear that Celtic legend Tommy Burns had died aged only 51. Gordon Strachan’s tribute was sad too. This a day after their rivals Rangers lost in the UEFA Cup Final. Not a happy time for Scottish football.

It was hot here too: 98 in Berkeley. Of course that’s probably our high for the year and you’re just getting started out there.
I went out and laid on the grass but didn’t have the energy to sketch. Love your’s though. Put’s me to shame :)
That is hot for Berkeley! Yes I’m not looking forward to a long Davis summer with the baby.
