While most of you are probably preparing for winter, temperatures of 35°C continue out here in the western wilds of Sin City [though the weekend is supposed to be a bit cooler]; anyone want to house swap? Two months until I leave summer and enter winter in San Jose: hurrah.
Driving with the window down [I do use air-con occasionally; lately I have felt as if I want a breeze] the smells of spring have been constantly with me. I confess I am the Ignoramus of Ignoramuses -- or is it Ignorami? proves my point I suppose :) -- in many things, I particular excel in being ignorant of flowers and their scents, so I cannot tell you what they are: except beautiful. Sweet swells that would generally signal warmer weather is on its way -- though with temperatures of 35 we don't need signals, we are feeling it.
There is some lavender out the front of work: another beautiful smell as I walk past.
Small things maybe, but enough to bring a moment of joy and beauty into a tough week.
