Hot Dry Days

Got up late this morning so I just got through taking my morning pills. The sun’s out as usual, but these hot dry days have all but ate up my shade. As you can see leaves are already turning brown and falling off the trees. Mr. Brown mowed down what was left of the garden along with the rest of the yard. And as you can see the brown leaves are piling up like it’s autumn.

Ain’t much going on that you don’t already know. Just waiting out the last few days of August so I can enjoy the heat and humidity of September. But there is a little breeze blowing from out the east, so hopefully a little rain will come our way. There’s hardly a cloud in the sky so despite the warm breeze I probably ain’t got long left of my visit outside. But despite my complaining, the fresh cut grass does smell nice.

A lot of times I don’t appreciate the quiet that I’ve been given. Like yesterday I yearned for days of long conversations about much of nothing. Laughing with my friends one on one without worrying about getting anything done. In modern these times we allow ourselves to get so distracted by the bells and whistles of every day life. That we don’t make time for real connection. This is essentially true for me.
​
But like I said, I often lose my appreciation for the silence. I guess because I got such an abundance of it. Still to chase away the loneliness of captivity, we need human connection. But at the moment I don’t have much of that. Alone with my thoughts there is just so much of myself I can handle. But social media is such a slippery slope, you never know what you’re going to get. Well there’s nothing more to add here, I’m just rambling out my thoughts. But if you're feeling the same about connection right now, just know you’re not alone
