Summer

Strolled downtown to the library in the afternoon, and then came home and dozed out back with my book. Not the most comfortable position, but a delicious closing of the eyes, feeling, oddly enough, like the indulgence of a cool shower on a sweltering day. Counted the spiderwebs, listened to the birds. It was warm enough to eat dinner outside on the seldom used picnic table--a real treat in the last long rays of the sun.
