Today I’m heading back home to Massachusetts for the next three weeks. Good chance to work on my game in preparation for Goodboys Invitational weekend, spend some quality time with family and friends, eat some fried clams and froed scallops, look longingly at the Atlantic Ocean, enjoy the shade of some big green trees, and – best of all – get out of the Arizona heat and dust. While I’m enroute, enjoy this lovely little poem:

“A break in the heat
away from the front
no thunder, no lightning,
just rain, warm rain
falling near dusk
falling on eager ground
steaming blacktop
hungry plants
thirsty
turning toward the clouds
cooling, soothing rain
splashing in sudden puddles
catching in open screens
that certain smell
of summer rain.”
– Raymond A. Foss, Summer Rain
