It's hot in Georgia....already. The past four days have seen 90 degree (Fahrenheit) and higher temperatures and today, tomorrow, and Thursday is forecast for more of the same. Now, I know we made the choice to live in the deep south, and brutally hot and humid summers are part and parcel of life here, but this is a little too much too soon. The start of summer is still about a month away, and I'm already to the point that I really don't want to go outside during the day (so sad). I did a little research and found that temperatures for the week are nearly 10 degrees higher than this time last year. Also, drought conditions, driven by la nina precipitation patterns (from as far back as May 2010), will continue through the rest of our spring season and into the early summer months. So what does this have to do with our sweet little Safia? Looks like she's going to have lots of naked time!

Yesterday was very peaceful. We deemed it another “Do Nothing Day.” It was in response to a flurry of activity that coincided with my mother’s visit: Farmer’s market, park walking, grocery shopping, downtown walking, multiple restaurant episodes, neighborhood walking, trip to Madison, GA…etc. We found ourselves exhausted, cranky, and we felt Safia could maybe use a quiet and tranquil day at home. It was just that, and Safia did great and we also benefited from the rest and relaxation. Lately, I’ve been feeling ambitious about making food, baking bread, and just playing around in the kitchen, but the unseasonable heat has really made me hesitate to turn the stove or oven on. Maybe when the heat subsides in the evening, we’ll fire up the grill and do some outdoor cooking. That sounds quite nice.
