Happy Solstice.

The sun's set now, but it took its time in doing so. I spent a little while outside this afternoon and walked through the park on the way back, stopping for some white mulberries and to notice the bees. No strawberries, though - if I'd known it was the Strawberry Moon tonight I might have stopped at the greenmarket sometime today to pick some up. Strawberries don't need reasons or excuses, but sometimes it's nice to have a deliberate occasion.

It's also that time of year I really need to accept it, give in, and turn on my AC. Every year I resist, and once again I'm left unable to focus and manage my time on account of the heat and humidity. Opening the window only helps so much - same with turning on the regular fan. It's a minor hassle to keep having to wrangle with the screen and window every time I want to turn the AC on or off, and enough of one I avoid it as much as I can. But tomorrow night I should see about that. See what writing I can get done when it's not so humid in here. I can't help it - I'm still not used to this sort of summer night.

I do the same thing; I put off turning on the AC because I love having the windows open (and I have trees in the front and back yards that help keep the house cool), and then one day I'm like, Hey, haven't written in a week, don't really want to do *anything*, what's up with that? Oh, yeah, the heat. I'm lucky enough to have central air, so though it's pricey it's effective.
