Summer in Sacramento


Morning:
The air is soft and still.
Green leaves lushly circle the yard.
Sprinklers whoosh lightly one-by-one as watering timers kick on up and down the block.
Birds call out to one another: peeping softly, singing happily.
Squirrels scamper up and down the trees, chasing tails and leaping with grace.
The clear hot promise of the day lies ahead.
