Things I love about steamy summer days...

 ...the candy apple green scent of damp grass just mown...

                      ...carrying a big bowl of assorted vegetable peelings to the compost pile while I'm cooking supper...

...the sound of God's tater wagon turning over in the heavens...

.                   ...homemade mint syrup in my tea...

...how the swimming pool feels like a hot tub after a rainshower cools the air...

                 ...watching my hubby's eyelids droop while he reads the latest...

 ...green--everything's so green again...

                     ...cotton candy skies just before dark...

...Queen Anne's Lace mixed with zinnias and black-eyed susans in a pitcher of water on the table...


Things I dislike about steamy summer days...

...snakes...

...and mosquito bites. 


                                            I think the pros outweigh the cons. 





As the snow flies

  I'm sure most of you are well aware, particularly those of you who live in my neck of the woods, but this is Day 5 of Snowmeggedon 202...
