Hazy, lazy days...

We had rain again today and the air was fresh and sweet and comfortable and when the clouds brightened and the sun came out again, the leaves and roads glimmered with liquid sunshine. Oh! how long ago seem those hot, sticky breathless days when the landscape was shimmering golds, burnt ochres and dusty browns; days of seared grasses and ripened corn and earth as pale and dry as sand.
Oh, how soon we forget our moans and groans of dry, smoulderring heat and moan and groan about the sweet, sweet rain and the freshness of the air.
"Bloody weather!"
Oh! What contrary creatures we are. :)
