After a heat wave that had Berkshire Mountain natives gasping like fish,
there has resumed the sort of weather for which
the Tri-State (New Jersey, New York, Connecticut) denizens
come to spend the summer:
clear dry days with a breeze to keep flying insects at bay,
bright sunshine that isn't too hot,
and cool -- sometimes, downright chilly -- summer evenings
at mountain-valley (sometimes mountainside) altitude.

It's the weekend, so the landscape outdoor workers are out,
like so many worker bees,
mowing the grassy lawns and verges like there's no tomorrow.
