Intolerable heat III

When I come home in this heat, I thank my wonderful parents for giving me a blender, and I blend frozen berries, yogurt, lemon juice, and milk together to make this:
The goal is to add as little liquid as possible, so that it is nearly solid with ice crystals. And stiff, as this photo demonstrates -- not so much a "smoothie" as a "firm-ie" or some such. Cold and delicious.

This post's theme word: titurate, "to rub, crush, grind, or pound into fine particles or powder."

Snail

The rain ended the heat today, and -- lo! -- a snail on a brick, which I sighted on my way home!
Also, I got completely soaked. It was relieving for 30 seconds and then simply unpleasant -- afterwards I was wet and overheated.


This post's theme word: pluvial, "of or relating to rain, especially much rain."
