Today was one of those rare Virginia summer days without humidity or even temperatures above 82. In celebration, we turned off the a/c and threw open all the windows and doors. A cool northerly breeze freshened the house while we were off riding our bikes, but this evening finds our place a bit warmer than usual. Even so, there is something about the sounds of my neighbors returning home from work and the the smell of the fresh cut grass coming in through the screens that reminds me of a time when not many of us had air conditioning. Then, there was less of a division between inside and outside, and we knew that nightfall would bring crickets for sure, and maybe even some cooler air.
