FOR AS LONG AS THEY LAST

Yet another perfectly cool, slightly foggy morning on the porch. I must savor them as much as possible, for as long as they last.

We've had the six-month chunk of wonderful that is allotted to us each year, and I am truly grateful for it. But, I'm afraid this makes it all the more difficult to face the fires of hell which will soon descend upon us, and force us into hibernation.

Ah well, no use fretting about it before it even happens. Better by far, don't you think, to concentrate on how I wish to spend this day -- this one, glorious, cool, possibly even rainy, day. We love our rainy days, here in the Hill Country!
