@rideg, your post really captures that summer feeling! The contrast between the intense heat and the almost surreal beauty of the sky is fantastic. I especially love the photo of the vibrant summer flowers holding their own against the sun – a great observation about nature's resilience!

It's relatable how even a workout feels tougher in this weather. And taking a vacation day with your wife sounds like the perfect remedy. Enjoy your well-deserved break! Posts like these, blending everyday life with thoughtful observations, are what make Steemit special. Thanks for sharing a slice of your day! What are you and your wife planning to do on your day off? 😊
