Well, I know it’s the end of June, because we are approaching the Fourth of July AND because it is hotter and more humid here in San Antonio than it was last month. Even without looking at the calendar, I could have guessed Fourth of July is right around the corner because last night I heard the first (illegal!) firecrackers – off in the distance. The other time firecrackers go off this much is when we are approaching New Year’s Eve, and it is a little cooler during that time of year. (OK, I’m underestimating the degree of cold here during the winter months!)
I truly cannot believe that June is almost over! We have actually had some rain down here in San Antonio, but it is still hot, hotter, and hottest!
