Summer Nights

It’s officially summer, as of last Sunday, so I thought this short video apropos. Have summer nights changed? All things considered. I made it back in the summer of 2009. Which, I can make the case for as the best of my life. (That might be worthy of blog–tier ranking summers.)

Then and Now

is interesting, too. Then, I was living in Laporte, Colorado  (#8 in my tier ranking of my homes.) which is not that far from where I am now–Loveland, Colorado. However, some things seem quite different. The weather, for one.

I call the summer of 2009 The Summer of Rainbows. Which is evident in the video. Thunderstorms and rainbows were a constant. Additionally, it seemed to be much cooler, then. The Laporte apartment had AC; however I never turned it on. In fact, I hung a curtain over the window unit.

Now, 17 years later and just 20 miles south, I’ve yet to see a rainbow. Moreover, it is so damn hot! And, my apartment has no AC. The inside temp approaches 90 degrees. So I bought a fan. Which makes sitting inside watching my smart TV bearable. Then, I didn’t watch TV. Furthermore, there were no smart phones.

Changes

are so prolific as to be worthy of a book! But, what about the weather? Just last Thursday there was a rainstorm in an old habitat of mine that resulted in flooding. (Evergreen and Bear Creek)

This has been going on forever. Moreover, has been exploited by people seeking power and control.

My Question Is

What do you think? About summer nights? How are you doing?

I am so sad. Moreover, have any idea about who’s in charge.

  1. I love summer nights here in the desert! The snowbirds are all back up north and it’s very quiet! And the monsoons are starting up soon. I always sleep better at night when they hit.

    1. Since you’ve been there, has there been any change in the monsoon patterns? It just seems to me that storms were more frequent before. Of course the climate has always changed—ebbs and flows. And now I’m old enough to experience that.
      Yes.! I, too, love rain at night. And the sound of ocean waves. The fan I bought mimics the ocean 🙂💤
