The Power of Heat

During two days of 90-degree-heat, the trees and shrubs just couldn't hold out any longer. They let loose with a flurry of leaves, flowers and of course oodles of pollen. Doors and windows have been open because the central air didn't come on til yesterday afternoon [hurray!] so every surface is powdered with pale yellow. There's always a price to be paid for such beauty. I think it's worth it.
