Drowning here in summer’s cauldron*

We spent several days at my parents’ home in Grand Junction. Over the mountains and through the desert, to Pop Pop and Row Row’s house we go’ed.

One of my favorite spots on the planet is their backyard. Every season there is lovely, but the summers are luscious. It’s barefoot-in-the-grass, kaleidoscopic, Russian Olive sweet-scented, and almost too hot.

My mom bought a triple-wide slip-and-slide, complete with mini-rafts and racing flags. The kids used it to keep cool. We put it on the grassy hillside for extra speed.

*Song made not-exactly famous by what band? You win nothing if you know. It will simply confirm we had the same cassette in our tape decks during the summer of 1987.
