As summer draws to a close, the excessive heat and humidity has fallen about 20% so far (from 90s to 70s for both).
The irritation of gnats and other pesty insects of earlier this year have diminished considerably so I can sit out without too much swatting.
Like jumping into a pool or licking on an ice cream cone of your favorite flavor on a hot and sticky day, cooler weather brings refreshment.
Some of summer’s other refreshments for me include biting into a ripe, juicy peach or eating a fresh picked strawberry or cob of corn. Getting away from the normal grind of work-eat-sleep also refreshes my spirit. Suzi’s backyard pond with the sounds of a waterfall and sights of coy, frogs, lily pads and a bloom pond lily rejuvenates memories of that refreshment.
What brings you refreshment?
