What a scorcher!

Ever been tempted to sleep in your basement? No? Me neither. At least not until last night. We are in the midst of a serious heat wave. It was 80 degrees in the shade by 8am yesterday and today. Those vaunted Cape Cod sea breezes have helped us avoid the 100+ temps hitting some parts of New England. Still, it's REALLY hot. For reasons of personal preference (mostly his), Sam's been sleeping with me while Jed is away. Last night that became utterly necessary since I can only find one fan in our whole house! But when I went down to the basement to retrieve some laundry, it was blessedly cool. For a few seconds, I actually contemplated grabbing Sam and maybe even a light quilt from upstairs, pumping up the air mattress, and sleeping in the basement!
