Sometime between 11:30 PM and 2:30 AM, summer arrived. A southerly wind brought crying killdeers, moistened the air, and the air warmed considerably. The moon is a hazy yellow, with an almost eerie foreshadowing look to it.

It smells different though. Crickets and bugs are twittering, like in a romance novel waxing of warm steamy nights…. not a whole lot of romance going on in my little microcosm ;) but it has that sound and smell to it. Almost a sweetness. I turned off the heat and cranked all my windows open. It’s the most perfect song and feeling to sleep by.

The leaves popped at the mall during that time too. Just, POP! on the little red maples. When I left, the branches were bare. When I came back, brand new bright green leaves were backlit by the mall lights.

HAPPY SUMMER!!!
