It's July which has always marked the beginning of the summer season. It's hard to process that here in Southern California since we are still getting cool gray morning and eve when the sun comes out, the temperature are cool enough that AC isn't required. I am not complaining--not when I see what the temperatures are other places.
I have to admit that I don't like the Fourth of July. Instead of being a celebration , it feels ominous. It turns into a battle ground of people shooting off illegal fireworks around here. Aside from the concern that they might injure themselves or start a fire, they terrorize all the pets--and me. There's nothing like what sounds like a bomb going off in the middle of the night.
I mark the occasion by making sure all the windows are closed and the cat has a place to hide.
July might mark the beginning of summer, but Walmart was already putting out the back to school supplies.
Last month was about SCONED TO DEATH coming out, but now it's back to focusing on the next Molly book. I was happily typing away only to discover that somehow my computer did not save the days work. It wasn't so much the computer as apparently Word. There's a way to recover unsaved documents, but there was error with that so I will just have to write them again and hope Word doesn't screw up.
For now I am going to enjoy the peace before all the noise.

Good morning -- It is 12:45 a.m. here -- your blog says it was posted at 3:30 a.m. -- how can that be??? I'm in the same time zone as you. Computers are just plain weird. Glad to hear you are working on the next Molly book -- sorry your day's work disappeared.
I, too, hate the illegal fireworks which are always shot off -- why anyone has to just make horrid, loud noise is beyond me. The fire danger is also a concern -- it is so dry around here. I do enjoy watching the spectacular displays on tv.
I'm doing my usual crocheting -- making another ripple blanket using light blue ombre -- so pretty. My stash has decreased quite a bit so I treated myself to a dozen skeins of ombre and bitty stripes -- it's great to be able to just keep crocheting and not have to change colors.
Now I'm going back to bed. Enjoy your day -- hope your computer behaves.
Patty, I write my blog on Thursday and then set it to post Friday morning at 12:30 my time which is 3:30 eastern time.
I will probably glance at what is supposed to happen in Washington to see if it does.
Yes, it is nice not to have to change yarn. I am still working on the ripple blanket and using some bright striped yarn.
I am hoping my computer behaves and plan to check to make sure everything saved correctly.
Happy 4th!
