Fair to middlin' of nowhere

Despite her cool procrastinations
she has finally given in to her hotter side.
Oven like days give way to muggy evenings
and breathless mornings greet you.
Clouds talk of rain,
but they are only teasing.
The wind comes up in the afternoon
to blast the heat around.
Her reign is running short.
Soon September will be nipping at her heels,
come to put out her fire.

Catchy little poem with so much truth in it.
October is my favorite month of the year.

Always great to read you Lori

If only
Here August has been nothing but rain rain rain on my window pane
Hoping for a so called Indian summer
Best wishes Michael

Hey Jerry, Blues & Michael,
Sorry I have fallen behind in my correspondence. I feel bad because what you have to say is so important to me. Probably more than it should be. Thanks friends  ~L
