Shimmering

Main feature of the day was that it was hot - 42°C (107F), and, unlike yesterday, the sky a dull grey. Photo of Mourão was taken from the causeway on our way back from grocery shopping in Reguengos. Our Land is hidden in a fold off to the left of the castle. You can see how dry everything is around the olive trees and holm oaks, and, in the foreground, how much the Lake has gone down already.

Gratefuls:
- somewhere cool to shelter
- darkness falling
- a soft kitten's paw stroking my leg
