Summer/Fall Morning on the Porch

I'm sitting in my favorite chair on the front porch.  It's early on a Sunday morning.  The weather this past week has been unseasonably cool and this morning continues the trend.  It began to rain last night which, I guess, portends a trend back to seasonable weather.  The weatherman tells us that we're experiencing the remnants of hurricane Harvy that did all of the damage down in Houston.

The sweatshirt and a fleece jacket I'm wearing just barely keep the damp, cool morning air from chilling body.  Every once in a while a slight breeze stirs up and a fine mist blows onto the porch causing me to reach for the warm cup sitting on the arm of my chair, snuggle it a little to warm my hands.  As I sip the now lukewarm, slightly sweet coffee I realize it's time to move inside.  I gather up my things move into the kitchen for a second cup of hot coffee and begin the day in earnest.
