My Thursday Thirteen because: I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...(Colleen Redmen always gets it tight and right with her Thursday 13 and yes, I know it is not Thursday...at least on this planet.)
What is hot?
1. My back yard
2. My front yard
3. The inside of any car today
4. The new fluorescent coneflower I just bought
5. My granddaughter's temper
6. Burn Notice
7. The steam that put a nasty welt on my wrist from the crab pot
8. The angry lightning from the storm last night
9. My husband's homemade hot pepper sauce
10. Every new #-pad that comes out
11. Dolce-Gabanna men's cologne ads
12. Sam Elliott's voice (Who wouldn't be agreeable to anything he said with that sexy voice?)
13. Oddly enough the mourning dove in my oak tree...he cannot leave her alone! Talk about hot and bothered even though spring has long since come and gone.
Hi, The heat finally broke here last night... We opened up the house today and turned off that darn AC.... It still got into the 80's --but much less humidity... Yeah!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe love Burn Notice also.... We never miss it... Have you seen Leverage? It's a great show also--about cons who con the rich... Great characters..
Hugs,
Betsy
We're supposed to get temps in the 80's tomorrow - never thought I'd think of that as cool.....lol
ReplyDelete80's here as well! A nice break from the sweltering heat. My plants are loving it!
ReplyDeleteSean Connery and Tom Selleck are hot hot hot!!! Yummers!!
Mojitos' are hot too!! Rum and fresh mint......yummy!
Glee is hot too!!
Hugs

Good listing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice, diverse list, Tabor. It made me smile. I always like being able to tour around the country (and world) via blogs.
ReplyDeleteHere in Colorado we have an unusual source of heat: the wind. Out here the wind is generally chilly when it blows, but sometimes in the summer it will get warm enough that the breeze is warm, too.
So not "hot" but there's something lovely about being buffeted by warm winds when out for a walk.
LOS, I grew up in Colorado and those warm winds were fewer and farther between when I was a young girl. Colorado summers seem warmer to me now.
ReplyDeleteGood list!
ReplyDeleteDid I told you that I LOVE your new template? White background and big fonts are perfect!
Thank you so much Tabor!
ReplyDeleteOnly just now I see my blog Leaves of Grass and my name on your My Blogroll Part III..
Many thanks for your nice words about me and my family.
I appreciate it more than I can say!
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I think all those years of writing short poems has helped with my 13 creations. Sometimes I don't know where they come from or if they will. I start collecting lines on Friday.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things that attracted me to Joe right off was his deep voice. Right now the Italian food that Elizabeth what's her name is writing about (in the book Eat, Pray, Love) is hot. I still haven't gotten to India (where she prays), Honestly I read about 6 pages the whole time I was at my mom's. My mom kept me hopping and the weeks were not without childhood issues being restimulated (for all of us sisters).
You don't know 'hot' until you have experienced an Arizona summer. It has been over 100 for a over a week and I am housebound after 9 am. I am frazzled when I return from walking to the mail box in the afternoon. Otherwise, I stay in my air conditioned house and bless the guy who invented it.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Colorado, too, Tabor. I was a native of Colorado Springs and didn't leave until I was 35. What part of Colorado were you in?
I love to drop in and hear all the voices talking about the "hot" - it has even been warm for here in Scotland, where hot is 20C
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at number 12. I agree, but hadn't thought of him in a long time.
ReplyDeleteChilly here today, but this weekend is supposed to firecracker hot. Not my favorite weather, for sure. I live my early years in Oklahoma, but have been spoiled by 40 years in Maine.
Hot is Birmingham, Alabama, in the summertime....and, you can add "humid" to that too!
ReplyDelete: )
#13 It's wonderful when love lasts. ;)
ReplyDeleteDid I say pansies? I meant petunias; I'll have to change that. Thanks for pointing that out.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Sam Elliott's voice. HOT.
ReplyDeleteI like your list, have you started a Thursday Thirteen?
ReplyDeleteHot is not really happening here, not what you and all the commenters would call hot. Hot is tepid at best and I like it that way. I'd get pretty hot and bothered if I had to cope with your temperatures.
