Longing for cooler weather

It is nice in the evening when the sun goes down to take my dog on his daily dog walk. We walk down to the end of the street and cross the road to a bike path with woods on the side. My dog gets to sniff every plant on the trail. He comes back panting with his tongue hanging out. He barks at me demanding to be taken on his daily walk. It turns out good for the both of us. We both come back somewhat tired at the end of the day and ready to watch television. As the night darkens the sky, I think how cool the earth is on the ground. It may have dew in the morning or it may be totally dry, but the ground is cool to the touch of my feet. I called a person in Indiana and my Aunt in North Carolina. They both stated that the weather would get into the triple digits. The news reports seem scary to me how people die from heat exhaustion. I don't see the fairness of the heatwave hitting the whole East Coast when most people are unprepared for no power and keeping the body cool. I look forward to the fall and the change of the seasons. I hope the summer heat doesn't last for long.

  1. I am use to thinking that only the American southwest gets temperatures into the triple digits and not the midwest and northeast. After all, people in the south traditionally go north in the summer to get cool. Must be global warming. Lew
