Late evening yesterday we got clouds and lightning but no rain. But the cool front did lower the temperatures by 7 or 8 degrees.

I spent time outside this evening without feeling like I was in a furnace. Got the clippers out of the shed and trimmed off some of those long tendrils that snake out from the wisteria in the summer and wrap themselves around everything within reach.

Then sat on the front porch swing for a spell and leafed through a magazine while listening to the crickets until it got too dark to see, and then I just watched the fireflys for awhile.
