Pretending It's Not Really 116 Degrees

June is slipping into July way to fast and today's temp of 116 is reminding me one of the difficulties of living and farming in the Phoenix desert.  


Attitude is everything though.  Mindset makes or breaks a 'hot' situation. 

So, this afternoon I changed my (grumbling attitude) and decided to pretend I was in France - specifically St. Jean de Luz (Basque Country). I made myself a little café crème et un croissant and smothered the croissant in the peach jam that I'd made earlier this month.  

Has it worked? I mean - sipping French press with cream and enjoying bites of a croissant to help me overcome this heat wave? 


Actually, yes.
