Gratitude Monday: so long, summer

We’ve had a week of temperate weather here in the District They Call Columbia. Highs creeping up to the low-80s, and (with only a couple of exceptions) humidity that didn’t require donning SCUBA gear. I turned off the AC and had the patio door open all week (although I did use a fan).

You have no idea how lovely and luxurious that is, if you’ve not endured a DC summer.

Moreover, the mosquitos that take over my back yard every summer appear to have packed it in. Good riddance to them.

It’s still possible that we’ll get some sultry, ghastly days until the end of September, but I am so grateful that we’ve broken the back of summer for the year.
