cool again

For some reason unknown to me, a gentle but persistent cool air flowed into Central Indiana, taking with it the heavy, humid -- and hot -- air.

Hallelujah. That sudden change is extravagant this time of year, a relief from air that makes any garden work a heavy burden. In fact, the plants look better as the air is less humid -- again, this is probably my imagination -- but I certainly enjoy it more on days like this.

Talking about the weather withsome else is a banal, safe area of conversation. But for a gardener, or anybody who is attuned to weather and its effects on the landscape, it is a constant tune, or sound, to be heard and evaluated.
