We've had a heatwave here. That sort of weather isn't unusual in summer -- we get heat and fine dust off the Sahara for a few days -- but it's rare to have it in May. And whether it was the temperatures or a virus or what, my brains felt scrambled for about three days. Then yesterday afternoon the temperatures dropped a little, and I managed a little overdue gardening. They dropped again in the evening, and I finally finished the web page of Fiesta de la Cruz. You can see it at http://sheilacrosby.com/fiestas/cruz.php

Today was the closing date for the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association's Short Story Competition, so I pulled my finger out and sent two stories off. Fingers crossed.
