Beatin' the heat: more than a notion

On Monday five Belles met to walk in Brackenridge park half an hour earlier than usual to avoid the heat. It went so well they decided to do it again next week. ‘twill be interesting to see how long they can stand it. Chica and I figure that by August they/we will have to meet at 5:30 a.m. to beat the heat.

Speaking of heat, Mary and son Maverick took a midmorning walk with us along a newish segment of the Salado Creek greenway on Sunday and the heat really took its toll. Both Chica and my tongues were practically dragging the ground when we finally were allowed to go off-trail to drink at the creek.

Thing is, walkers really need to get out so they are done no later than nine. For now, that is. Come August the ending time might just be 7:00 a.m.
