This is the hopeful part of summer. Today the temps hit 109. Not bad, really. At least that is what is seems like in the early summer. Right now the heat is on, but it is still pretty new. So the temps are expected to run from 105 -110 this week. So in this way we shall melt right into July. Ahhh...new summer is much more agreeable than old summer. The long days linger still, with sultry breezes sloughing through the summer/cricket nights. We are awash in sumptuous summer fruits: cherries peaches and apricots. Our barbecues are on and the pools are full. And meanwhile the critters come out to play now, too. Lizards abound on the dunes and the rocks. Snakes slither and foxes slink, owls hoot and nighthawks glide.
Yes, early summer is good. Before the lingering heat begins to sap energy and dampen spirits.
