Saturday Photo: Fabulous, Dangerous Weather

The termperature is just about perfect today--24 C. or mid-70s F--with no humidity to factor in.  What is more, on this last weekend of the official summer, the neighborhood seems moreor less deserted as people try to stuff in one more good time before things begin in earnest.

Ths was taken at high noon in the backyard.  The grass practically glows in the sun and the shadows are deep.

What the photo doesn't show is how dry things are.  We had a little bit of rain Friday, but not much.  The forecast is for rain on Wednseday (perhaps Isaac-relatled?) and it won't be a moment too soon.
