Ahhhh

Well the weather has turned around in East Hampton and these past two weeks have been glorious to the "n"th degree. There's little humidity, the temperature is perfect, and nights are wonderfully cool and comfortable. I'm in heaven. Except, of course, for yesterday. Today will be better, right?

It's funny how the weather can lift your spirits, send you into a depression, or help you stay centered. There's even a physical aspect to the way a low pressure system makes us feel lazy or tired. We can't control it - and in many ways it totally controls us. We make plans dependent on it and we maneuver around it, but at the end of the day it is what it is and we're totally prisoners to its whims.

I'd be very content if the summer stayed exactly the way it is right now right and on into September. I don't like to break a sweat if at all possible, and I hate wearing winter coats - so this suits me just fine. Then again, I'll be hankering for a nice, cool, crisp autumn day by the first of October, I'm sure. I do enjoy getting the heavy sweaters out. I guess I'm a person who loves dependable change. And the weather is usually pretty cooperative.
