a floral scented breeze

wafts through the picture-perfect morning.....blue skies, around 70.....proper seasonable weather....went to the library and found a few things.....did my walking.....ate my apple.....looks like a nice enough Monday so far.....

late at night

quarter 'til 11.....really nice out, almost full moon, air like cool silk, all those frogs and crickets singing.......

rain in the morning

around 8:30 it rained hard for maybe 20 minutes.....maybe less than that.....so it's a cool Sunday morning.....now at 9:30 some sun is poking through the overcast on and off......so it will probably stay comfortable again today with just ceiling fans running some......

late afternoon

it was starting to get hot and sticky, but then a storm came along to cool things off....it was really dumping rain hard for a while....now it's starting up again looks like....I've got the Yankees and the Rays on, but I might switch to something else, since the damn Yanks are winning....though you can never tell in baseball....maybe they will put a relief pitcher in for the late innings who will give up a bunch of runs in a row......just about got my library books done, Monday can be library day......got the game on with the sound off, so I can hear the rain instead of the same commercials over and over.......there ought to be a law....in the interest of public mental health, that says the idiots can only show any given commercial once an hour, on penalty of death......

so far

today looks like yesterday.....maybe it will rain at lunch time again, and stay more or less cool into the afternoon.....I started watching a football game last night, but only made it to half-time, and then went on to bed......those preseason games aren't all that exciting.....and they are screwing around with the rules again in strange ways....oh well.....tacos yesterday, probably tacos again today.....a pound of meat will fill a lot of tacos.....school starts on Tuesday I guess, so there's a last weekend of Summer vibe going on, though it's going to stay hot enough for a couple more months.....gas went down 20 cents ......but I've got enough gas anyway to last this month and probably next month.....we'll see what the prices are then.....well, I'm going to go sit out back and eat my daily apple......there's Saturday afternoon baseball later on ch. 21......

been out on the porch

watching the rain....light thunderstorm around noon.....had a chili dog for lunch, with a glass of wine.....the sound of the rain could put me to sleep in the middle of the day easy......

Friday morning

another cool morning, low 70's, clouded over, nice wind.....yesterday I only ran the air for a couple of hours, and then it clouded up and cooled off a while after supper.....I fixed a chicken breast patty sandwich on wheat with pickles, lettuce, mayo.....and just about finished off the potato salad.....tonight it will be back to tacos and pintos.....30% chance of afternoon thunder-showers.....I got my walking done this morning earlier than usual, stayed comfortable......
