weather

Well so far summer has been a bust.  Except for a few sunny, warm days back in May and a couple in June it has been mostly overcast, drizzly, raining enough that I saw two frogs crossing the road choking and coughing because the rain was so heavy.  It has been mostly in the high 60s to low 70s with rain at least part of the day.  So this summer I've been wearing sweatshirts usually reserved for the winter.  Now in late August the rain continues.  I want balmy weather so the leaves on the deck will dry out and I can use the blower to finally blow them away.  We haven't been able to grill outside or even sit on the deck in the dusk due to chilly weather and wetness.  Inside the floors, stair railings, walls are gross and sticky.  Salt, baking powder, sugar and any granulated stuff is a clump thanks to the wetness and humidity.  Not just due to humidity a few days but thick, cold humidity week after week since June1st.

It has been hot enough 100+ here that I haven't been doing much bicycle riding but I shot with my club last weekend.
Only 3 of us shot and one of the guys started having problems with the 100+ heat so we stopped a little sooner than I would have preferred.

Saturday the 26th I will be shooting In Meeker Oklahoma. They are having a "Bug Shoot". (Paper targets of bugs.)

Talked with a dear friend a few days ago.  She's in Georgia and reported it was 97^o while it barely made 70 (with rain of course) in Maine.  Today we're being blessed with more rain and dreary overcast.  I'm glad we're on a (very) high ridge above the Kennebec river valley.

It's very wet here after hurricane Idalia went by. All the windows are fogged all day and we're getting rain even after the storm which is unusual. In fact, everything about this storm is unusual. It moved from western Cuba to the Big Bend in a bit over a day and intensified from a tropical storm to a class 3 hurricane in less than 24 hours. It was still a class 2 storm when it entered Georgia and a class 1 nearing South Carolina.

It made landfall 30 miles east of my hunt camp with 125 mph winds. My son called and said all the buildings were intact and there were only 4 trees down on the 150 acres. Being on the left side of the storm is the key to survival.

temperatures are currently down to the 90s.
The "Bug Shoot" was fun but only 5 of us shot. Not a lot of people interested in shooting muzzleloaders any more for some reason?

A cold, wet summer but now it gets up to 90^o.  I thought summer was supposed to be hot, not going into fall!  Just had two days in the 80s before today.  Fall may be warm again this year.
I'm not suffering from the heat because heat is what one expects in Georgia, or should expect.  My squeeze suffers from heat but I've been accustomed to it from the flatlands of Georgia.  She's a mountain girl and was used to cooler weather.

Rain and wind for the next 3 days.  The leaves are turning.  Another year gone by.  1 less summer in the timeline of life.  Enjoy them.  70 or 80 summers really isn't that many.  They click off pretty fast as you start to age.

Try to appreciate the coming winter season. There aren't many left.....
