Dog days of summer


 It's only 11 am and my underarms and back are already soaked like swamps. But at least, with the windows open and the fans going, it's a little cooler and breezier indoors.

Last night's walk made me a bit bolder about taking Charlotte down new streets, rather than just to the park down the street and back.

We went down Tanus Strasse a bit, then came back up through the pedestrian zone, pausing to refresh again at the sidewalk fountains.

The fountains are a great tease for Charlotte because they go through a pattern of getting very low, until you almost can't see them, then spritzing up again to a foot or two in the air.

Charlotte loves to toy with them -- moving in for the attack when they are low, then backing off and yapping at them when they grow big again.

She even made a new friend. A little girl who had a similar plan for cooling off.
