Lovely! I am SO looking forward to Canada's "cold front" coming tomorrow - I can't take anymore of this 95 degree heat. Today topped 100 even. YIKES!
 isn't it your winter there Maureen?

it is and it's cold - most days struggle here in Qld to get up to 23 degree and tonight they tell us Wednesday will run from 1 degree up to 19 degrees - if it keeps up I might have to emigrate. :)

QUOTE (Maureen @ Jul 19 13, 22:30 )  heat wave relief temperature drops as rain pours down - summer showers Hey, Maureen... I too think that this is lovely... except that the second line is much too long for a haiku... perhaps the second line continuing the thought of the first (since relief=temp drop), something like: with a deluge of rain drops; ... and to continue the thread: some 're showers 'n' some 're just drizzles; all bring relief ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!
