Asleep on a Train

After a couple of muggy weeks in high heat, it was a relief to finally get a few cooler days. It's been a kinda busy two weeks with me getting a call from the bus company to have a medical check.

It was a hot weekend so I spent Sunday on the porch swing, reading and drinking. The cool change came through at about 4:40pm on Sunday, so we relaxed in the cooler air, and had a good nights sleep.
