Tuesday, August Twenty-first

The condensation is on all the windows, so the humidity has risen with the falling of the rain… a cooler morning coffee.

The first bird on my feeder today was a Carolina chickadee. The Mississippi Kite is in the sky calling as it soars. A mockingbird calls from the front of the yard.

I keep wondering when the city’s going to start tearing up my driveway. Will today be the day? They only work four days a week… so it’s like winning the lottery.

A tufted titmouse is calling from over my shoulder. And, now it’s on the feeder.

At 8 a.m., there is more traffic going out of town on the road than coming into town…

The prognosticators really called it yesterday. For much of the afternoon, thunderstorms boomed, rain fell heavy and lite… it seems that some rain has fallen almost every day for the past week. Granted, some days it’s only been a tease… but it’s something for this time of year. I see we are back to the normal 20% chance we have on almost any given day again…

The sticky factor is getting difficult to ignore… my coffee cup is empty… time to move this party inside.
