•  We tried to beat the heat by going for an early-ish morning walk with Neko.  By 8:30 it was already hot and humid.
• Paul convinced me into taking the kayaks out to the Merrimack River.  We were gone for a couple of hours in the late morning.  We spent some time in a shallow spot so Neko could get out and swim.  I had to agree with Paul it was a good idea.
• Brought the screen door from the slider to the hardware store to have a new screen installed.  Hopefully the new one will be more cat-proof.
• Big wind and thunderstorm moved in before dinner.  Heavy rain and lots of lightning.  We had one tomato plant casualty from the wind.
• Salmon over greens from the garden for dinner.  
• We watched an episode each of Modern Family and The Middle as a family before saying goodnight to A and C.

We are trying to stay well hydrated during these high 90-degree days. 

20.June

It's a little toasty.  Neko and I are hanging out inside with the windows and blinds closed.   I don't like not being able to see or hear the outside world.  A & C spent the afternoon and evening at the pool.  Tonight's theatrical presentation was the family movie The Big Year with Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson.  Thanks to the recommendation from Michele of The Great Read.  I think the rest of the week will be very similar to today.
