Summer is here.
I went for my morning walk and was dripping by the time I returned to the house. First time this year.
Oh well, I guess we got off easy in the spring. The days were hot, but the mornings have remained fairly mild.

Damn.
I listen to podcasts and audiobooks when I walk by myself. And I try to take a photo every day on my journey.
