Trying Not to Melt Away

 Condensation clings to windows.

Clouds contain moisture and the air is heavy.

I walked the first several nights of August when it was windy, dusty and hot.  But the one evening I walked in high humidity was miserable and I haven't gone out since.

So when I proclaim that I will walk (and blog) every day no matter what, just roll your eyes and say "yeh, sure".  HA!

Saturday was my craft morning meet-up.  During the summer, there's only a few of us in attendance since some are traveling and others perhaps are just hiding out at home.  The heat and humidity is quite unpleasant right now.

Mostly I am reading and crocheting.

I am still going through my books deciding what to keep and what to pass along, and since this month is Black August, an annual commemoration honoring the lives and struggles of Black revolutionaries and activists, reflecting on the contributions and sacrifices made by those who fought for racial injustice and liberation, I decided to read books by Black authors.

I bought both of these James Baldwin books a few years ago and just reread The Fire Next Time, but don't think I ever finished the second one so have started it again.  I plan to keep both of these.

I also read three of Toni Morrison's books that I've had for many years now; can't actually remember if I read them when I first bought them.  Her writing is easy to read though the subject matter is not for everyone.  I will pass them on to Susanna when she is back from the States next month.

That's about it for now.

Hoping for a break in the weather soon.

There are people who prefer humidity over dry heat, but I am not one of those people.
