Yes, it was terribly hot in the car on the way back from the vet clinic today! Too short a distance for the AC to really cool the car and even the open windows did not help! But I hope it'll dry my laundry, as the laundry dryer refused to start its work! :banghead:

Fireblade it looks like you get it really well at least some of the time.

The faces on the little birds are so cute. But I think the swans did not want to be seen, which if there were eagles about might be a very good thing.

The yellow face fooled me -- but I did think they look like our Chickadees.
