I wonder if yesterday was the last 80+ degree day of the year. I think it might have been, and I did enjoy it appropriately. After cruising job websites for 3 hours or so, I joined Junior out on the swingset. He had his standard-issue rubber piece-as-seat swing hanging on chains, and I had my “Air Chair” hanging on the other side. I can’t believe I forgot to put this puppy up before this week. It’s a sort of sling-chair that I guess was invented to hang under airplane wings, or something like that. (I believe I’ve written about this before, but I won’t let that stop me.
So I grabbed the library book I’m reading, Mermaids on the Moon” (excellent novel), and joined Junior outside. Then I mowed the back lawn, because it was very very very long. Then I rested in the air chair for another 30 minutes or so after mowing. The air chair has a cup holder (of course) so my bottle of water was rights within easy reach.
Today it’s drizzly and about 20 degrees colder than it was yesterday. The difference is startling. And knowing that today is more typical for the rest of the year than yesterday is just sad.
