Scalding water. It's hot. I went to water the flowers and as usual for a Carolina summer, when I turned on the water to our black hose that was sitting in the sun I had to wait a minute or too and let it get cold so I could water the flowers with cool water. It's amazing!! Anyway so I started The Immortal today by Angela Elwell Hunt. Just through the first chapter but so far so good. Will let ya know how it goes! The days of summer draw to an end.
