Ok so there was no rain last night or this morning...yet, but it is so freeking cold, the old dog won't even go out to pee. What ever happened to the long lazy days of August where it was too hot to move and we just lay in the dust thinking about school starting up again? I think of August and I hear Earnie Harwell's voice floating out an open window as we shucked sweet corn on the stoop. I think of going to the beach and the sand burning the bottom of your feet. I think of fans propped at the foot of the bed.
ow it seems as though summer ends with a sudden shift to cold. The dew is icy cold on the grass and nearly takes your breath away when you go out to get the morning paper. Leaves show colors that aren't supposed to be seen till September and the birds prepare to abandon us for warmer climes.
I WANT MY SUMMER BACK! In any year it is but a brief respite from sweaters and woolen socks, but this year it seems as though we were given a momentary taste and then the plate was taken away. already I find myself looking to clean up gardens and put away the wading pool.
It's not fair and I want to know who to complain to. God? Al Gore? Or maybe my husband who moved us back to Michigan in the first place. Ah that's it. He's always available and has a patient ear. Besides, he has available body heat to share.
