Boy, have I been pissy lately. I was just rereading my last few posts and none were all that nice. My apologies!

Well, we’re still in triple digit heat however, the weather girl (person, lady, gal?!?!) says that there is a lovely marine layer blowing in that is supposed to take us down to the high 90′s. Beggars can’t be choosers, I suppose, at least that’s what I’ve been told. I’ll take the high 90′s over triple digit heat any day.

Isn’t it strange how big the difference is between, oh say… 98 and 100? It’s 2 degrees but it feels like the difference between a warm glow and a blazing bonfire.

A couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to get out of the heat for a few hours. We hopped in the truck with my husband to take a drive into the mountains so he could do an appraisal inspection for a house in Tehachapi… that’s pronounced “teh-haa-chuh-pee.”

I took a few pics and thought I would post them here…
This is just a view of the valley where the house Mike was appraising sits.
This is just a neat view of the mountain range. Although, for the record I used to live in Colorado and had the sheer joy of seeing Pike’s Peak every morning from my kitchen window. It was beyond gorgeous and none of the mountains here compare.

The landscape is dotted with loads of oak trees, I love them!
