The sun tries to break through. The clouds that gathered will not scatter. A temperature more consistent with spring than summer holds steady. It was perfect weather to repair the paver stones on the front stoop, or write outside all morning. I did neither, becoming lost in folly on the internet. And so…

Cool off under the waterfalls, haijin? Congratulations to last week’s contributors! Moving right along. If only summer was only the season of frolicking. Alas, there’s work to be done, too–especially if you own your own property. Sooner or later, it’s time to mow the lawn! With the sun and rain, that grass…
