Today was straight up summer. 82 degrees at 7pm. A gentle breeze. Lots of porch time for us. Hard to do the right thing and go in for dinner, it was so nice out.
Luke saw a snake on the road when he was scootering around. It raised its head from its coil and looked at him, he said. A moment later a car ran over the snake. He's talked about it many times since, and took each of us to see it. Processing, I imagine, that the world can have this in it. This — I don’t want to say cruelty — maybe enormous and quiet bad luck. Later, he told me he named the snake Stevie.
I'm so glad I've been there and know what that porch and neighborhood feels like.
