It's Monday and that means of course it'll be a lovely weather day that unfortunately will only be admired from the windshield and from the cubicle. The weather is bright and sunny after 0.43 inches of rain on a stormy Sunday. I'm hoping for a breeze this evening so we can take a walk without getting consumed by the buzzard-sized mosquito's that seem to grow in size and number with each raindrop.

Here's to hoping the days of August live up to the stereotypical "dog days" label and dispel the "Lost Summer" notion that so far rings true here in New England.
