It's a Much Cooler Summer Down Here than Usual...

Like, when we Georgians are ass-deep in July like this, it’s often starkly, unbearably hot with a heavy dose of humidity. The temperatures often climb to 110*F+. Between 9am and 10am is your last reprieve for the day, if you’re lucky.

But this year, it’s hardly gotten higher than 98-99*F. The humidity stays at such a low, manageable level that I can hardly remember the last time I needed my inhaler after a walk.

There’s a nice, lovely, cool wind breezing through and it feels absolutely phenomenal as I walk through it.

I know it’s…it feels like all the world is falling apart over and over again and uncertainty remains a huge part of my life after spending so much of my youth trying to purge it (and I know such uncertainty is part of many of our lives).

But I wonder if this nicer, better summer weather is just a bit of a reprieve, a bit of a gift.

If so, it feels like quite the nice gift.

At least nature isn't piling on with the terrible like everything else seems to be and is content with what it has already released.

Here's hoping the reprieve lasts!
