Small gifts

Wasn't that little front that blew through Tuesday a delight? It knocked the hard edge off the heat and cleared the sky so you could even see the Milky Way, sorta. It would be self-deception to style it the first norther -- it didn't knock that much summer off -- but it restored hope that summer will end. As summers go, this hasn't been the worst ... started late and had very few of those days that make you believe you might die from the heat, just melt into a puddle of tallow there on the porch.
