We came home yesterday from a combined work-family trip, the last trip of the summer. In two weeks, another semester begins. I start each summer with a list of things that I intend to do, and I end each summer disappointed that I didn’t get to them all. This summer is no different. Still, I’ve learned interesting things this summer, and I’ve made some good progress. I shan’t complain.

The grass in the yard is brown and dying, evidence of weeks without rain. But we had rain today, and I hope more comes tonight. Rain to wash the humidity from the air, rain to cool us down so the weather is not so stifling. Rain to save the plants on the deck, maybe. They’ve suffered while we traveled.
