59 days and counting in this Texas heat.  I will tell ya, we are all dragging around like a dog with it's tongue hanging out.  Today was day 59 of 100 degrees or more of heat this summer. 

The job of a Realtor is to show homes, rain, wind, snow ( I heard that one, I have no personal knowledge)  during sunny days or mild.  We have clients, clients want to see homes, or want us to see their home.  Listing agents and buyers agents alike, we are out there getting the job done.

This is mid August, referred to as the dog days of August, because we are dog tired, it takes a lot less to tire you out when you are dragging yourself around in 100 degree heat.  Trying to smile while the sweat trickles down your back and your showing the backyard, what could be an oasis but is not, its dead or dying and brown and crunches beneath your feet.  But you keep on describing the paradise to be. The lofty shady trees, the lush grass, the koi pond perhaps. 

This time next month, surely we will have had some rain, and the heat will be almost disappeared until next year.  Hopefully we won't have two record setting years in a row, this had been the hottest since the mid 1920's... so surely it won't be repeated soon.  

Maybe I will awaken tomorrow to the sound of raindrops?  Oh one can dream.
