Go Away, Already!

Summer does not want to leave this year. Two weekends ago we had a cold front come through and I opened up all of the windows. The coolness lasted until the end of the week, when the increasing heat and humidity forced us to close the house up again and turn on the air conditioner.

Since then temperatures during the day are in the mid-90s Fahrenheit, and close to 100 if you factor in the humidity. (As a comparison, the average temperature at this time of year is 80 degrees.) The weather people are promising that there will be a break in the heat this weekend, with temperatures getting back to normal. I hope so.

The past few days I've been walking right after breakfast, while there's still a little coolness in the air.  Today I saw this fairy ring that popped up overnight in a neighbor's yard.

  1. It must be very humid, seeing all those mushrooms. It can't be long now before it cools down Kathy. Although it is muggy here in Toronto. But it can change suddenly at this time of year.

    1. Yes, it sounds like the weather will change to more seasonal overnight later in the week.

  2. Have you noticed we never had such bad weathers before the weather people started broadcasting on TV. They should fire the lot of them and get new people that can bring good weather.

    God bless.

  3. I suppose the weather is always interesting in the fall. Sometimes too interesting.

  4. Wow! I don't think I could take that kind of humidity. Our summer vanished almost instantly after Labor Day. Temperatures plummeted and deluging rain storms came through. Our temps have not exceeded the 70's since and mainly stay in the 60's. Summer was gone just like that. I wasn't ready for it. Now we begin the long gray.

    1. And I don't think I could live in your area with the extended gloom.

  5. It's really HOT here in Hawaii right now. It should cool down in a couple of months.
