Summer has Arrived

May 29th, 2007

I'm starting to see more people wearing shorts these days. This is a very good sign that summer has come to our latitude. Of course, the shorts worn per capita are not always a good indication of the weather. I had a friend in high school who, as far as I can recall, never wore long pants a single day during four years of rain, snow or shine. But tonight certainly qualified as a quiet summer's evening. I worked on the new poultry fence which, hopefully, will repel the neighborhood dogs and keep our laying hens safe this year. The boys played outside, digging in the dirt and looking for adventures in the long grass behind the shop. Even after two hours of outside work we still had time to go on a long walk around town. Sunset at nine p.m.... I could get used to that.
