Way Cool

Summer has been soooo pleasant here in Rochester. Just the right amount of rain to make everything beautiful. The tree foliage is lush and jungle-like, the flowers big and deep colored, the grass as emerald green as Oz.

Everyday there are cooling breezes, blue skies, fluffy clouds and low humidity. Walks with Sugar are delightful and uplifting. How blessed I am not to have to undergo a physical battle in the midst of a heat wave with sticky humidity like other areas of our country are enduring.

The weather channel announced today that Rochester is enjoying the coolest July since 1871 - think about it! Almost 140 years since we have had such a great summer. I am so tickled to be the beneficiary of such great weather. While I am not silly enough to believe it was all done for my benefit, I do believe the good Lord put me in a sheltered place intentionally. And if his choice for me resulted in lessened suffering, how amazing is that!

I shall totally enjoy it with thanksgiving for as long as it holds out.
