Soup Weather - new soup but reheated

 I am writing this morning from the front porch

wearing long pants and socks.

Zut, alors!

The last in a series of unseasonal heat waves has lessened

The weathermen are hinting 

at a remote possibility 

of a slight chance 

of rain for the weekend

We enter into the part of the year I refer to as "Soup Weather"

This time of the year

has sweet and sour properties

we lose the warm ocean water but gain the mighty north west swells

the summer garden in all its delicious glory fades but is replaced by the greens that do so well in the fall

We have our preferences but that's all it they are

Small clouds in our small mind

Let them pass
