Summer is giving us one last hoorah. There is a strong wind blowing up from the south, bringing all the warmth with it, defying the onset of winter. If it wasn't actually October already, I might turn on the air conditioning. But the hoses are already disconnected and wound up for the winter, and since our air conditioning system needs hoses to work, we're just putting up with the warm air. It feels like August again! This summer has been good to us. We hate to say good-bye.
Here are a few photos I snapped earlier this summer before Katya got her cast off. Little girls playing in the yard on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
