People can be awesome

I am fortunate that people are so caring. They are so concerned because I have not been out. I do not know how they can be out! It is too hot for me but not for mere mortals. I hear them call me but I am not venturing out to see them. I do appreciate them. I am fortunate that they care. I feel I should put a sign out so people will know how I am. I feel horrible for not meeting them at the fence. But really. It is hot. I would rather stay below where it is cool and I can listen to my stereo in peace. But thanks!

Oh These Vegas Summers!

I used to love the summer. It is hot and wonderful. But as the summer crawls on, I realize the heat becomes hotter and I cannot sit in it like I used to. I am getting old. So I come out incredibly early in the morning and sometimes, on a good day, in the evening. I love the evening before the sun goes down. There is something magical about that time of day. Like the fairies come out to play. Ah, I am seemingly nostalgic today. It is the heat. 
Yesterday a man stopped the female and asked her where I was. He comes by every day to talk to me but I am not out. I seem to wilt as I sit outside to visit. I do not understand when this happened but it has. *sigh* It makes me melancholy. 
Last night it rained and for a moment, I wished that I liked the darkness. I would have danced in the rain. That is right: tortoises dance.  It is a sight to see.
I am taking myself to bed. My internet has been spotty in my house. So I will give it a rest.
