Craving Cool...

I am craving cool today, cool weather that is. Actually, anything that makes me feel cool, whether it be something to drink, eat, wear, look at, experience, pour on or jump into. Yes, that is what I crave today. Cool, blue, cold, wet, breeze, sea, green shade.... aaahh! Feeling better already. So while our temperatures hover around 100 today and the locals debate global warming, here are some of my favorite images that might help cool you down.

  3. Exactly what I needed today! It's been hot and dry here, and along with people, the gardens are suffering. I can't imagine what this weather is doing to the farmers. I'd like to sit in the cool ocean water and not come out until it gets cooler.

  4. This ice cream looks mighty yummy. It's been rainy here but the ice cream looks too good to pass.

  5. Such beautiful images - but I wish we had some of your heat! It's been pretty dull weather-wise where I am. That little dog and the fan, just what mine would do.

  6. I just want to dive into that water! The little dog made me laugh, and the iced drink looks very inviting. You’ve found some lovely pics on Pinterest this time. It’s still raining in the UK (mid summer and been raining for weeks) so I might go and look at some warm pictures now. Hot soup and a cup of cocoa come to mind!

  8. You are so lucky to be having such hot weather. I love the photos you have chosen - they are as good as being on holiday myself. Definitely no global warming here! Like Barbara in the UK in Ireland it has rained and rained and rained for weeks!

  9. I feel cooler already, great images. I love the one of the cat!
    It isn't so hot here today but the humidity is very high so it feels muggy. We are hoping for a nice thunderstorm (not a bad one, just a little one) to clear the air.

  11. Thanks everyone for your comments, we all just have to muddle through our diverse weather conditions and of course we all know that can change in a moment. I need to go and refill my glass with ice cubes...

  12. What COOL images! Yes, I do feel quite refreshed! The little dog in front of the fan reminds me of myself when I was little, and there was no air-conditioning!
    So nice to meet you ~ I'm your newest follower!
    Best,
    Anne
