All work should halt, and we should instead lie in hammocks eating popsicles when the temperatures top 90 degrees. Elect me president and I will get it done. (This is the same campaign promise I ran on in fifth grade, by the way, but this time I am sure I can deliver.)
Based on our list of the week's five most popular posts, it looks as if you also craved a respite from the heat:
Over on Remodelista, Julie fell for a cool white palette that made her feel 10 degrees cooler.
Our contributor Yossy Arefi went foraging in the woods and found an icy dessert (more or less).
I finally figured out how to survive house guests (cocktails are involved).
Erin went on a firefly hunt.
Our contributor Julie Chai found a million dollar view and $100-per-night cabins that feel cool and breezy even in July.
