The mid-summer heat is incredible down here in my Savannah, Georgia—as it seems to be in much of our weathered nation.
—————————————————-
Real Feel of 114? Seriously?
On early morning walks (it’s far too hot for me to walk midday), I have noticed one resilient plant that seems to not only survive in this oppressive heat and brutal sunshine, but actually to THRIVE.
Crepe Myrtle
“Some plants perform best when the heat is on; Crape Myrtles revel in the sun and heat. They are summer show-offs. In full bloom this beautiful shrub/tree radiates color, sporting a full head of crinkled, “crepe” like blooms in various shades.” aldenlane.com
May we follow crepe myrtle’s exemplary leadership in this very hot time in our nation.
It’s dangerously hot, but we will stay alive!

Be like the crepe myrtle and know that if you’re out in the sun, you’re gonna turn red.
