Day to savor

We keep saying, my mother and I, we want to bottle these late summer days. Supposedly we're getting a big change tomorrow, but more heat will follow. The marine air that pushes in after a hot stretch is a relief for a while, but one of these days, it will blanket us long term. So we seize the time for her walks, and enjoy the end of the summer's flowers.
Got in a workout at the climbing gym, which was cool and quiet. Not the intense outdoor experience our son is having, but better than none at all.
Another night time walk along the lake, which buckled and shone; ducks laughed just offshore. Many people were out savoring the air, quietly marching along or talking in low voices; reverential appreciation.

And, it seems, with nary a cellular ring tone to be heard! Ah, bliss, I know thy name.

Now that you mention it, I can't remember any ringing phones. But for true freedom from cell phones, I bet kvatch's trip to King's Canyon was far superior...
