There is a thick cloud of dust
hanging over everything
it's hotter than Hades
There is the promise of rain
I don't know if it will come.
The heat has made the trees tired
the kids grumpy
the garden droop
the horses are irritated
the sheep have disappeared under the trees
the hens are lounging by the watering buckets
and I had to find a place to nap.
The nights are cooling off
Fall is coming
but right now
in the midst of harvest
we are stuck in the haze
of dust
sweat
and heat.

It poured all day here in Calgary. So chilly... And delightful. I don't wanna say this too loud- but I'm pretty excited for fall!
