Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

We've had a light misty rain all day.  Very strange for us, and the time of the year as well.  We've had super hot temperatures, then a dip of 30 or more degrees.  Our lime tree responded by dropping all it's leaves, like a fall foliage tree.  We are hoping it will come back, but the trauma is obvious.  Some of my family welcomes the cooling trend, but I like it hot.  Naturally, if I were doing manual labor I would feel differently, but I do like a day without socks and a jacket.  A little sweat is fine with me.  My baby grandson doesn't mind either, so we stroll out in the heat, him with a muslin drape over his stroller, me in my trusty sun hat.  I try to keep him on the shady side of the street, as he can't fully sit up yet, so the sun can get in his eyes.  Yesterday we also perused the bookstore and fruit and veggie market for a little down time from the sun.  Today would be a good day for strolling, but I have my next oldest grandson instead, and we went to the wildlife museum to look at hawks, tarantulas, chuckwallas and turkey vultures.  He didn't wear a jacket, and was more concerned about his toy kitties left in the car than the weather, but we did cut it short, as he had to pee and is going through potty training which stresses him about accidents.  I bought him a book about animal poop and how to recognize it.  Seems like pretty much what is occupying his thoughts these days.
