Perfect summer days

The last three days have been the weather that all Wisconsiners live for. Perfection in mid-70s, clear air, blue, blue skies with the most ideal little puffy clouds drifting by.

In the past week I’ve had sweet corn on the cob, twice. Last night, after an evening of sailing, the temperature dipped to that summer time cool, where a sweatshirt and shorts becomes the only attire.

Here I am, looking out at my backyard of yellow cornflowers and lush green leaves. I’ve just come from a lazy morning of sipping coffee and reading my never ending book, System of the World, on the outdoor patio of a coffee shop.

This is exactly what I dreamed my July would become.
