Summer Dizzies & Summer Skinny-Dipping

My favorite potato salad recipe

We are truly in the dog days of summer.

Today was another high-heat and humidity day. The kind that hits me with dizzy spells, and on the verge of passing out.

I planned to post Chapter Four of the California Chronicles, but my brain was swimming in my skull. We did, however, manage a gentle five miles early this morning, walking through the sultry forest. The scent of pine was everywhere, and the Ellis River was cool and inviting. Although it was only 8 am, I stripped down to be as naked as Sam and Emi, and all three of us skinny-dipped in one of the private deeper pools of the shallow mountain waters.
