Volcano !!?!! (male readers...be warned!) : )

It starts out as a seemingly calm situation.

Suddenly, from deep inside there is a slight rumble and a beginning of some warmth.

The warmth simmers and turns to a little heat.

Then very slowly this heat becomes exceedingly hot and this scorching feeling begins to make its way up.

As the fiery hotness spreads throughout it causes steam to rise.

As it becomes more and more oppressive, the sweating begins and everything is about to explode.

Signs of red are visible all over and it is now glowing...you are molten....

The fire is raging inside and you are smoldering.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I got carried away.

This isn't a volcano. This is a HOT FLASH!

...just another one of those little delights that we women get to experience at this wonderful time of our lives. Though they may last for just a few minutes, the heat generated from your body could melt a glacier.

It is uncanny how these little bursts of sweltering heat come about when you are least expecting them. Other than turning your air conditioning down so low that your indoor plants begin to freeze, your cat puts on her winter coat... and crystals form on your windows (makes the neighbors wonder what you are up to!)...or sticking your head into the freezer for several minutes....these annoying occurences just need to be dealt with as part of our "womanhood".

Aaack

Have you tried those naturopathic remedies? I haven't reached the stage of maturity that you have... and I'M REALLY THANKFUL after that description! wheewwww!!
So happy the rain dances and prayers have been answered, hope you get lots more rain soon. We're going into hot temperatures, supposed to hit triples in the next few days. Thankfully the cherry crops are off the trees and in the coolers, and the cots and peaches are ripening fast!! yummy.
