    It was 100% humidity and around 85 degrees on Saturday here in Charlotte (disgusting!)- we went to Chetola at Blowing Rock (up in the mountains) and the temp dipped to the 50's. Outstanding. the weather has been pretty mild this summer though, so I can't complain. Usually it's a hot sticky mess around here until October.

    Y'all don't have our humidity, do you?

    I escaped the Connecticut humidity for the cool comfort of the pacific north west. Although it makes up for it with rain

    Southern Oregon (Banana Belt) has been over 100 just about every day for the past month with clear skies and no rain. The high out on my deck was 112 last week. We do have a lot of smoke and haze primarily from the Happy Camp fire in Northern California. And now as I keyboard this another wildfire just broke out in Weed, California. Thankfully we are only an hours drive to Brookings, Oregon on the coast where it is downright freezing every day, usually in the low seventies. Here in Gold Hill the temperatures drop down to the fifties every evening as soon as the sun goes down.

    Summer has been a hot, humid scorcher. Today, it's humid, but the temp is down to about 87. Tomorrow, Vegas, Baby. Hot again. Looks like temps fall again next week in GA. I'm ready for Fall.

    It's usually a dry heat but we have been having some humidity that we're not used to, nowhere near 100%! Yuck!

    We just had our first frost of the year a couple of nights ago and I turned on the heat over the weekend for the first time. I love Minnesota.

    I've discovered that 56 degrees in the fall feels colder than 56 degrees in the spring. And yes, it is officially fall here.
    There are rules. Knowing those are easy. There are exceptions to the rules. Knowing those are easy. Knowing when to use them is slightly less easy. There are exceptions to the exceptions. Knowing those is a little more tricky, and know when to use those is even more so. Our industry is FULL of all of the above.

    My garden, patio and the 2 drive ways where all full of leaves blown down from a North Easterly in the weekend at 7C at night. I blew it all clean and bagged them Saturday and it was all still beautiful and my 15 large Geranium pots in full bloom.

    Sunday morning it looked like Saturday morning again. Time to move south in a few weeks.
