Up to the highest height

Yesterday was beautiful. The past week has been made up of blue skies, warm days, cool nights, and relatively tourist-free living. I found myself saying, "This isn't so bad after all!" Then Peleke reminded me how miserable the summer was. So while it is that bad in the summer, this time of year ain't half bad!

We went to a church class in the morning with the intention of going to the service afterwards, but I firmly believe even Jesus would have skipped out on church to go play outside on a day like that! Gorgeous. So we packed some water and grapes and went out to the island to fly kites.

As a side note, neither of us had heard anything about Hurricane Ida and were surprised this morning to hear of her impending landfall in our neck of the woods. Oops. At least we're out of the way at the moment! Guess there's something to be said for watching the news and reading the paper...
