It’s chilly too. It would be a good day to light a fire in the fireplace. I have been slightly (just oh-so-slightly) tempted to turn on the heat to take the edge off the chill and damp, but I can’t bring myself to do it on a day that is still counted, according to the calendar, as a summer day. Besides, we recently pre-paid our heating fuel bill for this upcoming season of cold, and that stuff ain’t cheap. I’m going to be investing in fleece and other things to keep warm this winter.

It’s not as sunny as predicted (I believe the weatherperson’s forecast was “abundant sunshine”), but I don’t mind the clouds. They add character and depth to the sky.
