# 29 - The Forgotten Spirits of Summer's Past (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Reader,Sometimes, towards the end of July, when summer starts its transition and a cold front spreads across the land, spirits rise from roadside ponds and hayfields. From lakes and rivers and swamps. A veil of fog lifts from warm water and damp grasses caused by the rapid cooling of the earth after sunset. That is when the foggy spirits of summer’s past rise up from the dead memories of fertile soil and water.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/
