This morning I sat in my garden with a cup of coffee and the morning pages I've been doing fairly faithfully since Margot and I went to a conference in Sedona with the Artists' Way writer, humorist and sage, Julia Cameron. (She was married to Martin Scorcese, something that somehow added a great deal of heft to her words.)
And to my point: it was cool. Sweet, sweet cool air with just a hint of moisture. The sky, of course, was cloudless blue and the sun bright. But the air was cool. Refreshing with a promise that this back-breaking heat was finished. The afternoons may be in the triple digits, but the mornings were cool and cool mornings make all the difference. It allows for a time to regroup, gather your energies and be still.
The heat 24 hours is relentless. When they say it saps your energy, it's true. There's no regathering time.
Soon, we'll be able to eat dinner outdoors again. But for right now morning coffee in the garden is sufficient.

I remember how much I loved this change of season time of year -- the cup of coffee and cool air. Also, mockingbird sounds. I miss that. Today at 9 a.m.in Illinois it's in the 70's and rising -- 93% humidity! Good for our ripening tomatoes, but not so good for sitting outside.
After reading your enthusiastic review, we went to see Julie and Julia. LOVED IT!!
