Lingering mist

It promised a repeat of yesterday so we were hopeful when we pulled back the curtains to see must over the fields.  But today, unlike yesterday, the mist took much longer to go. By early afternoon, the sun finally won through, leaving a sunny afternoon allowing temperatures to rise. By evening though the dampness in the air soon returned, and the mist descended again by nightfall.
