Quote
Of The Week
This was one of those perfect days in late summer where the spirit of
autumn takes a first stealing flight, like a spy, through the ripening
country-side, and, with feigned sympathy for those who droop with August heat,
puts her cool cloak of bracing air
about leaf and flower and human shoulders. Sarah Jewett Montana

To Stay Cool
Sunshine is delicious, rain is
refreshing, wind braces up, snow is exhilarating;
there is no such thing as bad weather just different kinds of good weather. Ruskin

forecasting is that it's right too often
for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it. Patrick Young

if your haystacks are tied down. Irish proverb
Good weather all the week, but
come the weekend the weather stinks.
When the weather is too hot they complain, too cold they complain,
and when just
right their watching TV. Mike Garofalo
"When summer gathers up her
robes of glory,
and like a dream of beauty glides away."
