The very hot day

Isn't this a pretty weed? I spotted it while I was out walking. It was a hot walk that day. It was the kind of day where you find a real relief under the shade of the trees. Trickles of sweat stung my eyes and I felt some hitting my bare collarbone. And I don't normally even sweat a lot. I made a mental note to remember this sticky day in the dead of winter when I'm freezing!

It's a beautiful thistle. I often see them here, too, they are so lovely. I have some which I am drying just now to make winter decorations! Valerie

Pretty color! Unlike Canada, Hawaii is pretty moderate. Temperature during the summer ranges between mid-70s and mid-80s, with 88 being the high fahrenheit. Winter is cooler, but not extremely so.

Oh is that what it's called, a thistle? Great idea to dry them Valerie, wonderful texture.

I somehow thought it got hotter in Hawaii, interesting.

watch for pickies, they stick in you and are hard to remove, thistles are lovely but nasty to bump into or touch!

I love the color of thistles. As for hot, well if you lived in Va. you would really be hot. Every day for the past couple of month's its been in the 90's with high humidity which makes it feel like over a hundred. We've had the hottest summer I can remember. I can't wait till fall!!! :-)
