Day 190 -- summertime interactions

The temperatures are getting warmer and the humidity is climbing a bit, too. It seems to cool a little at night, but sleeping remains a challenge. The fan seems noisy rather than acting as the useful 'white noise' to shut out extraneous sounds. The heat makes nights very uncomfortable in the house.

The warm weather brings many people outside in the evenings -- many sitting in sidewalk cafes on Main Street. Others watch the world from their porches or front steps or head for a dip at a local beach. This week brings many visitors to town for a couple annual festivals, so the faces have new mixed with familiar. This differs from the winter months when people are holed up inside and not interacting to the same degree. Summer days and nights bring out many folks to walk and talk and see what is going on around them.

I will admit to liking spring and fall seasons more than the extremes of temperature and storms of winter and summer. Yet, summertime does have a particularly positive feel, even when everyone is tired and a bit cranky from lack of sleep during a heat wave. Today's song is about people getting out during the hot days of summer. The band had a Canadian at lead guitar for many years. Enjoy!
