i love wisconsin summers

i rode my bike to work again today. i’ve been averaging twice a week bicycle commuting and since i only work four days a week, i think that’s pretty good! anyway, this morning, when i left the house, it was cool enough that i wanted to put on my sleeves (tubes of fabric that i wear on my arms but can remove more easily than a long-sleeved top). by the time i got to a stopping point, i was warmed up enough that i decided not to wear them after all, but it was practically chilly this morning! in july!

at lunchtime, i took my magazine and a throw pillow outside to the big grassy playground/soccer field that ‘s behind my library and laid on the grass in the shade of a tree and soaked up some sunshine. delicious. and i didn’t burn to a crisp in the half hour i was out there.

before i moved to wisconsin, i couldn’t comprehend the need for a “summer sweater.” now, my favorite weather is slightly cool summer nights with fireflies and cicadas and light-weight long sleeves to keep away the shivers.
