A Patch of Shade

It is very hot here, resulting in death of some homeless people, which is not difficult to imagine -- when the door opens, it is like opening the door of a hot oven. Feeding the birds in my yard is one of my simple pleasures, and I particularly like to have food out for the quail families that pass through daily. Today, one family is resting in a patch of shade in one corner of our yard and drinking out of the pool fountain. I am glad to help out in a small way; the larger homeless issue is harder to address, though the local radio station KOOL 94.5 is collecting funds for food and supplies to help those on our really hot streets. If it was only as simple as a patch of shade...
