BTW

I knew the minute I decided Mother Nature was teasing me what would happen, and indeed I was right. No sooner had I decided that it was not going to rain, as for evenings past it has threatened to do each night about this time, and turned on the hose to top off the pool (four inches, thank you), than she opened up the heavens with a downpour of great proportions.

The earth is happy, the air is clearing, and a refreshing twilight is upon us.

Now: to make chili. Not summer food, but I am HUNGRY.

It rarely happens. Off to make the most of it.
