Karl and I have been catching up with some yard work.  Yesterday he pruned our cotoneaster and weeded.  Still many perennials, just a little more room to breathe.

This morning I saw steam rising from Lake Michigan.  I learned awhile ago this means the water is warmer than the air.

One day I was holding a cup of hot coffee in a cool room, and as steam rose from the coffee, I finally understood this in a concrete way.
