During these languid, slowing days of Summer, sometimes the best activity is no activity. Between the heat and humidity, it is prudent to be economical with movement, particularity in the afternoon. That is why perhaps the backyard is the best place to visit to throw down a blanket and watch the clouds roll by.
High in the sky, fluffy clouds filled with moisture pass by each other, offering their own Rorschach test on imaginations. I see a dragon, you see a claw. Lying on my back, I watch the birds flying overhead, smell the humidity come off the lawn, and start to become sleepy.
