Summertime...

I can't deny that the living is easy. We may be at risk from robberies, carjacking, and terrorists, but we sure do have a nice pool and playground. The kiddo and her buddy played full out Saturday, and my kid at least had to give it up by 6:30 that night.
It was a warm day, as they have been, reminding me of late spring in New Mexico. Also like NM, it hasn't rained in a long while. Last week, upon coming out of the auditorium used for church services, it was cloudy. Not just clouds in the sky, but actual overcast-ness. You would have thought there was a giant shooting star up there, given the murmurs that rustled through the crowd, hands gesticulating upward. It's been a long time since there was potential for a rain drop! It cleared up shortly, though, and the weather has remained stubbornly pleasant since.
