Happy Tuesday, dear readers! I hope you have some good air conditioning where you are, or access to a swimming pool because it will be a scorcher. Whatever you are doing to keep cool during the heat, please remember to check in on any elderly neighbors, and to leave out extra water for your pets and limit their outdoor time so they don’t overheat in this weather. And don’t forget about the trees in the tree boxes — they need extra water when it gets this hot, so help the city out by giving them a good soak. Already on top of it? Great! Then here is your link round up to get you through your morning.
