Summer Mist

Posted on July 31, 2002 in Weather

A fog lifted from the sea has drifted inland and stayed awhile atop the hill where we live. A bank of long, flat clouds stretches northeastwards, intent on giving its gift to some other part of the continent. Sheer wisps of mist separate we mortals below from the water we need. Up there. I wonder what selfish little boy has been chanting “Rain, rain, go away!” and getting his wish to the detriment of us others?
