That moment when you can hardly breathe, you know that summer is coming to a close. The air feels so hot and heavy even though there is a breeze. The sounds of summer have suddenly changed; no buzzing insects. Do you think they can’t bear the heat and are now asleep deep in the soil to rest until another summer wakes them to start the process all over again?
In our neighborhood school has started, but yet summer is still heavy on my skin. I am reminded of my grade school days when the classroom was almost as hot as the air outside. No air conditioning back in 50s, but we had a water fountain with cold water from the well and some days our teacher would bring up a gallon of cold water to share with us in her gallon thermos. We were hot and sweaty from recess, and that cup of cold water was the treat of the day.
But summer is coming to a close….soon hoodies will replace the shorts. And that’s the seasonal pattern. It’s all good.
I love you,
