The last few days hot and dry. Beginning of drought? It seems so. During midday, clouds gather that seem unmistakably thunderheads, and a storm seems imminent, but sundown comes with clear skies and calm air. Country roads powdery, and plant life along their sides are yellow. Nature is losing her freshness and is taking on that hardened look of hot summer.
