The good news from Raleigh is that it's safe to go outside again. After a hot summer with heat waves in June, July and early August and a hellish humidity that made outdoor life miserable, the best place to be was inside. Over the past few days the humidity has diminished, the temperatures have moderated and this morning there was a distinct touch of cool in the morning air.
When the French Brittany spaniel Sadie and I walked this morning a little after 5 a.m., a gentle breeze harkened up memories of September. When we made the turn up the hill at the Mile of Maples on Millbrook Road, I saw an old friend that I haven't spied in month: Orion the Hunter was out, hanging in the eastern sky -- a sure sign that the summer will indeed end after all and a new season begin. It cannot come soon enough.
