After what seemed like an endless procession of nearly unbearably hot days, this current weather seems like a cold spell! It barely reached 90 degrees yesterday and is forecast to be even cooler today. It was a mere 74 degrees when I arrived at my office at 8 AM this morning.

We enjoyed a delightful salad for dinner last evening: Italian greens, white mushrooms, cucumbers, kidney beans, celery, Anaheim pepper, green bell pepper, roasted red bell pepper, roasted red onion, radishes, hard-boiled eggs, cluster tomatoes, and grilled London broil.
