A couple of hours ago there was a sudden torrential downpour, right in the middle of a sunny afternoon.
An hour later, the sun was shining again, and the air was cool and sweet with the smell of flowers.
Lately, people here talk about the weather with such heartfelt relief in their voices, after the long wearisome rains, heat, and high humidity of early summer.
Seems like we had the Dog Days of August in May and June, this year. There was only one way to deal with it, and it only worked for some of us.
But recently we've been enjoying delightful glimpses of May.
In July and August.
Unexpected.
Refreshing.
Miraculous.
Blue skies.
Cool mornings, with clear air.
It may not last.
Heck, it will not last.
But these are moments and hours and days to savor.
And you never know...
there may be more miracles waiting in the wings.

I hope you are enjoying the beginning of August, whether you are in the middle of summer or the middle of winter, or somewhere in between.
