Sun Shower

Wednesday, June 9, 2021

Beautiful sun shower at about 6:00 p.m. It’s hard to see the rain in the photo but it was coming down pretty heavily for about 20 minutes. It stopped just as suddenly as it began. The western sky was clear so the storm was right over us. Rather unusual for the sun to be out for the whole shower. It was lovely.  

Increasing Humidity

Monday, June 7, 2021

Beautiful walk with Athena this morning. Very comfortable temp-wise. As I write this at 5:20 p.m. it is 93 degrees and so much more humid than what we’ve experienced in this little heat wave. Pictured above are some neighbor's peonies which I photographed this morning. 

Morning Walk with Athena

Morning walk with Athena. Pictured above is a  neighbor's bench I sometimes sit on when walking her.

Salvia in our back yard is peaking. 

Taking In the Warmer Weather

Thursday, June 4, 2021

Continuing to enjoy the warmer weather. There was an increase in humidity from morning to afternoon. We started out  really dry and what we ended up with was still reasonable but Athena felt the difference and was moving a bit slower than her new normal.

In other news, irises are peaking. 

Taking a Walk

Wednesday, June 2, 2021

Took a very pleasant walk after getting home from school. Eighty-two degrees, low humidity, and a gentle yet steady breeze. I’m so ready for summer vacation. 

After my walk I sat for a spell in the back yard waiting for Dale to return from a bike ride.

Peonies

Our peonies are really coming in nicely. The just started opening up over the last day or so. 

Still Light
