Summer Mood #2

Days of storms – wind, rain, hail, garden drenched, softball games cancelled, trees snapped, power outages. Days of humidity and heat broken by those same storms. Days of wildfire smoke fogging the landscape, the smell filling our nostrils, breathing sometimes difficult, windows closed.

Still there is beauty.

And there are joyful dogs just waiting for us to take them along wherever we’re headed when the rain and smoke clear.
