Thursday Afternoon
Grab a glass of lemonade and linger for a moment:
The humid air from the Gulf of Mexico will soon push north and will linger against the Blue Ridge Mountains until nearly October, for the Carolina Low Country is a place where summer lasts well past necessary and on into ridiculous as if there should be a 13th month called Augtember.
Throughout the “dog days” of Summer our SUV’ are left running while we quick step across pavement that can give 3rd degree burns to bare feet darting into the CVS for another can of Outdoors Off, SPF 15 sunscreen and an 18 pack of Miller Lite.
Push gently past the pages of history and your find the tattered remains of Charleston Summers long since forgotten. Road side stands, peach and watermelon, boiled peanuts, fireworks and baskets are part of my childhood, as no trip to the beach was complete without all of the above.
Kelly Love has quit her dayjob:
A lot of people have gotten in touch (and I love you for it) and want to know why. The best way I can explain is to paraphrase from an email from a friend this week: “Little tiny dreams, Kelly Love, require little tiny thoughts and little tiny steps. Great big dreams require great big thoughts and great big steps.”
Michael has had his fill of President Bush:
Why not, instead of using the money to drill, use that money to fund alternative energy sources and more efficient methods of transportation? Not only would this help the energy needs in the long term, but it would also help with global warming. Even if you are one of the flat-earth disbelievers, at least these alternative sources would decrease foreign oil dependency which is one of the main reasons Bush wants drilling allowed.
Heather @ June 19, 2008
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m like a really bad actor on a movie set, as I need about 100 “takes” to get a story to where I like it, and even then there are still typos. So to everyone who noticed that Heather’s “snip it” is a little different than the post that now appears on the Cedar Posts and Barbed Wire Fences blog it’s not her fault.
It’s this author’s ever critical mind, really bad spelling or confusion about words like do, dew or is it due?
