cool weather
We are getting a good rain tonight while I sit inside and listen to John Edwards. I’ve been waiting to experience first-hand his speech-making talent and I’m not disappointed.
The rain tops off three days of mild weather. The high today was only 83. I wish I could say that I took advantage of the weather to work more in the garden but that’s not the case. I did spend more time outside than usual, and we’ve had the windows open every evening. But I’ve been lazy. The garden is languishing.
Perhaps the rain will pick things up. At least it should make it easier to weed if I find the energy for it.

Summer is made of lazy days, even if it’s not 1000 degrees outside. Enjoy!
I was impressed with Edwards’ speech — did you hear/read Obama’s? Even cooler.
Though I lean Democrat, I can appreciate good speechifying even from those I disagree with. I mean, it’s a talent like any other. Some of the smartest guys (Nixon, for example) in politics didn’t have it, and some of the dumbest did. Interesting.
