The weather has been too warm to stay in so we have been setting our up our blanket under the shade of the trees. Emma has discovered a tree covered in cocoons, caterpillars and moths and is completely enraptured by them.

We received word that the summer concerts in the park have been cancelled. I knew it was coming but still breaks my heart.
Otherwise we are enjoying ourselves best we can. Lunch on the balcony helps.

We met someone who loves bubbles as much as Clover!
meal planning in a heat wave
We just had a crazy heat wave where Oakland and Berkeley were 95 degrees. It was terrible really but we ended up eating dinner for two nights outside in Lakeside park which felt much cooler than our apartment. I felt relaxed spending the evening after work outdoors sprawled out on a blanket under the trees despite the warm temps.
Sunday pizza night was almost cancelled but I persevered. I will certainly have to come up with some hot weather dinner options. This is something I have to research because my first thought is eat out in an air conditioned restaurant but that may not be sustainable if we have a summer. Monday we ate tuna sandwiches and Tuesday we got Whole Foods salad bar. Maybe pre-made food is the way to go. Pre-cooked and ready to take to Lakeside park.
