season: midsummer
---

- dawn: the air is thick before sunrise. everything is already sweating.
- morning: blazing. the garden wilts by ten. water it or lose it.
- afternoon: oppressive. thunderheads pile up. the storms when they come are violent and brief.
- evening: a little relief if the storms came through. if not, you wait.
- night: warm and loud with insects. sleep with the windows open or don't sleep.
