After the storm

After depositing eight inches of rain in the Capital City, Tropical Storm Lee is now trundling off to the northeast and we are waking up to 58° this morning! For a city that has a single weather forecast from June to October (low 74°, high 93°, with an afternoon thunderstorm between 3:00 and 4:00 pm), this is almost as joyful as waking up to new fallen snow!  To sleep with the windows open, to enjoy coffee on the porch, to walk around the lakes without the threat of heat exhaustion - well, I can think of plenty of outdoor activities over the next few days before the 90° weather sets back in.
