A rare occurence when you can sit outdoors (or lie down on the grass) and look up at the stars while a balmy warm breeze caresses you. Reminded me of being 'back home'.Elaine Kerrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02130929372579948407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577973697554910422.post-4542150971035687002009-08-20T11:08:35.444-07:002009-08-20T11:08:35.444-07:00I agree that weather is not trivial at all.

Weather has a serious impact on our daily lives...no wonder people talk about it so much! Weather can make or break events, it can make you angry or happy or any other emotion...it's kind of amazing how much it influences our lives...and I haven't even mentioned natural disasters caused by weather! :)<br /><br />Anyways, thanks for the post!

But the weather is the dome under which we all operate. It's something we have in common, something that informs each of our days. How could we not talk about it?<br /><br />Weather is never trivial. In its extremes -- whether the heat of this past week, or the prolonged snow season we experienced last winter -- it serves to remind us of the "real" Earth, the one we are part of, no matter how many walls (or air conditioners) we think might separate us.<br /><br />Thanks for the lovely evening on your deck this week, Star. It really was magical -- as we sat bare-limbed and comfortable, in the warmth of this unusual weather.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18040592311212664218noreply@blogger.com
