High of 93 here in Minnesota with some expected thunderstorms just to Increase the humidity. But here in another month you might need blue jeans and a sweatshirt. You just never know.Want to trade? You can come here and I'll go to Australia since I prefer winter. 95 F today with a heat index of 105.The heat and humidity is stifling.
Since there's a heat alert here for today I probably won't be going out except to water the flowers. I was thinking about baking a biscotti recipe one of my daughters gave me, that is if I don't get caught up doing something else.

What a great capture! 
The hummer didn’t come up just once; she kept going back and forth between the feeder and the window! I had plenty of time to take the pic. If I’d been thinking clearly, I would have taken video.
And they seem to be very much daredevils, too, teasing cats like you observed,

you couldn't get me to bake anything today unless in a mircrowave. Our AC bills go through the roof already with the heat this time of year! (Although if I could get my husband to clean the outdoor gas oven..., I'd have a cake or plum pie just ready & waiting.) Oh my mouth is just watering at the thought! Or a fresh peach pie! 
Apricot pie! 
Cheesecake! OK that does it, I'm getting out the Ben & Jerry's Pistachio pistachio ice cream! 
No, in fact I'm lactose intolerant to the point that I don't eat ice cream, but the thought of that, especially pistachio or mint chip or coffee, is wonderful in itself! Enjoy!
Have you ever tried Spumoni flavored ice cream? It has cherry, chocolate and pistachio ice cream and it is heavenly
We have a small ice cream store in a neighboring town that makes their own. Out of this world. Kemp’s does sell some but not the same.
The real Italian version is AMAZING. The American version, not so much. Italian restaurants used to serve it and it was so good!
I am sure everything tastes better in Italy. My family is Sicilian and hard as we try we can’t recreate the wonderful tastes of my grandmothers cooking.
W WillowMarie I'm going to try it in a mug next time. Sure seems like a good idea to me having a handle on it.
I've never been to Italy, but some of the nice Italian restaurants I used to go to served the real thing, which is VERY different from the too-sweet American version. The Italian version has subtlety, is not too sweet, and is very dense.
You'll have to let me know what you think! The handle also helps keep the heat of your hands father away from the ice cream, which keeps the ice cream colder and harder for longer. That is if you hold the bowl/cup wow eating out of it.W WillowMarie I'm going to try it in a mug next time. Sure seems like a good idea to me having a handle on it.
I frequently eat coconut milk or almond milk ice cream by So Delicious. Have you ever tried any of their varieties? I love their mocha almond fudge bars: Mocha Almond Fudge Bar with Almondmilk | So Delicious Dairy Free
It's extremely hot and humid here too which is why I stayed home and baked. It was my first attempt at baking biscottis and I added espresso chocolate morsels to the batter.
No, but I love soy ice cream and mochi (rice flour) ice cream. I especially love the quintessentially Japanese flavors of the latter, like green tea.
