Blooms of the hibiscus are falling daily from the vine along the old jungle gym. These, along with grapes from the grapevine, dried leaves, twigs. Small things. I sit at the table on the patio and think how each season these same things find their way onto the patio blocks. The apples, again, are beginning to proliferate. Some of them are munched half-away by the delighted squirrels and rabbits who inhabit this place. Tonight, the Perseid showers are expected, but it's so cloudy I'm afraid it will be difficult to see. Still, Willy and I plan to go out about 11 tonight just to see. Plenty of summer left to enjoy. Six o'clock and I hear someone shooting baskets at the hoop in the alley.
