Summer

I saw the still of late summer this last week. It was 88-90F most days, leading to the most humid still, hazy day on Wednesday. Happened to be the day I was walking down the highway to an appointment with the kids... Lots of sweat involved. This is the view on the way into town.
The earth is tired, the trees are finished growing, and some leaves are starting to turn. The cicadas are nearly done, the grass is browning off.
