Staycation Heatwave

Hello from Emily and Willow. Emily is airing out her tummy fur in this photo. We were not able to get the air conditioner installed until the heatwave started. It was not easy to "enjoy" the staycation with the tropical heat. Emily did made full use of the fan. The vet told me I could wet their feline head with a very damp wash cloth to help them cool down. I also put icecubes in their water. Emily and Willow both regarded the icecubes with suspicion. I did manage to get in several visits with friends. It was pleasant to get out of the house. One friend suggested an ice cream store. It was expensive but yummy. I ordered one scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough. Couldn't get a photo because the ice cream would have melted!
With the hot, humid weather came some pretty instense storms. This thunder head looked menacing!
Forgive the blurry shot. Willow decided to cuddle me when I relaxed on the sofa. Cuddles don't happen as often during the summer. It was so warm outside that walks were postponed. However, during the last few days, things are a bit more seasonal and I enjoyed a few walks.
I was surprised that I didn't post at all last month. Time got away from me. I also recently had to say goodby to a sweet friend. She was very kind and the world seems like a darker place without her. Emily, Willow, and I hope to visit your blogs and see how things have been for you all. Hug your felines! I'll close with this funny from Pinterest.
