My guess is, we'll be paying for having sweatshirt weather in early July within the next few weeks' time... Pay me now or pay me later, as they say... But we'll take the cool weather for sure!! Welcome rains as well, did not have to water the garden today! Only had .17" in the rain gauge, but that's enough for now. Will have to keep our fingers crossed for some diurnal T-storms next week.

Dry is the trade-off for cooler summer temps. Hard on backyard gardens but no complaints from me. Haven't seen much of the Bermuda HIGH since May and even then is was a reluctant visitor.
