Day 301: the shade

Hello again,
Today I am thankful for the shade. Today was the hottest day all year even though we didn't quite reach 30. Only 1 single degree off!! sooo close. But it was a nice hot day and wow it was nice! But it was even nicer in the shade. On a day like today the shade was a life saver if I wanted to be outside. This afternoon was a bit too hot for me to be in the sun very long-not that I am complaining though! Because of the heat, it made the shade very very nice. I took my cat out with me to go lay in the shade with a good book and we had a great time just taking it easy. I had my book and read awhile and I wish every day was like this. I wish I could be lazy like that every afternoon too but then it wouldn't be so special. :) My excuse is that it is Sunday so I am supposed to take it easy right? lol I would not have had such a good time if it wasn't for the shade though so I am very thankful for it.
