Here at home it was, for me, a very quiet, cloudy, on and off rain day. I was going to town to see what was going on there but the humidity, basically turning the air into a breathless steam, knocked me back about half way, so I missed any Memorial Day parades or activities that I'm sure were going on.
Fifteen minutes of blue sky
Instead I stayed home, fluctuating between trying to get a few things done and laying prostrate in the arms of heat. CWIM lay on top of the freezer, limbs flung wide, hoping for some relief. Finally we got a huge rain deluge, and dusk soon followed releasing me from the unrelenting sauna-like heat, free to ponder the state of the world beyond my own, which has its own heat factor.
This; in the midst of my beautiful flowers, sea views; my truly incredibly good life, is how it was yesterday. Maybe to remind me, as it surely did, of the rather large discomforts suffered by my fellow brothers and sisters, serving in the war zones of the world. And I cry uncle.
