The backyard smells like pee

I'm sitting at the outdoor table that is in my sister's backyard, and, in spite of the dog urine odor, it's a most mighty fine place. I'm not a fan of physical labor in the heat, but I do love doing nothing in the heat and humidity. I love the feeling of walking out of an air-conditioned house into the sultry arms of the outdoors. What also appeals to me is the lack of clothing I have to wear in this climate. There is something really snuggley about crawling into a big warm sweater when the weather is cold, but I much prefer crawling into a mini skirt and tank top and feeling the air on my skin. Then, as the thin (and sometimes thick) layer of sweat collects throughout the day, I love taking a cold shower around 4 of 5 in the evening. It's cleansing and energizing and feels sooooo good!

Yesterday a shipment arrived from Dave's parents. In it was 3 pounds of walnuts, 4 pounds of pecans, and two big bags of brown sugar. I do believe that chocolate chip cookies will be manifesting in the kitchen soon.
