It's Too Darn Hot!

We've had high temps and a lot of rain lately.  Sort of "saunaish", as some say.  This lady found the perfect thing to beat the heat... what we've been known to call a "funeral home" fan.

The Lady With the Funeral Home Fan

My last trip to the Pepper Place Market, I passed this nice lady taking a little break from selling shelled peas and butter beans. It was HOT that morning and she was fanning with what looked like a towel.  I jokingly told here she needed a "funeral home fan".  The young man in the group photo below said he knew what I meant and ran to the truck and produced one.  It didn't come from a funeral home but it worked just fine.  She put it up when she saw my camera, but I sweet talked her into letting me get her photo. Voilá!  Thank you ma'am!!

Honey, Sit Down and Cool Off!

Have mercy!  It's hotter than blue blazes ( HELL!)  here in Birmingham!  Last week it hit 105F.  Now do you believe me??  Well I found this shady spot at Sweet Peas Garden Shop on Linden Avenue in Homewood.  I'd like to sit down right here with a *funeral home fan and cool off.

BTW, it's part of my table/chair series as well!
