Heat Wave
Well, summer has arrived on the mountain. Yesterday afternoon at 4:06pm the temperature reached 80°F for the first time this year. Heat wave! (The high, by nthe way, was 80.7°F.)
Now, the thing that makes these bouts of high temperatures tolerable are mountain breezes but they have been in short supply at times. In fact, I noticed that my weather station had not reported anything but "calm" for a few days and for good reason.
The air had been so still that some spider wove a web around the anemometer cups!
That's it, folks. I'm sticking my lily white legs into a pair of hiking shorts and going over the hill to sit under the waterfall this afternoon.
Enough already!
