Visiting Brenda and Irv in Colorado

Dale and I are visiting Brenda and Irv in Colorado. I love this bird that is in one of their planters. Cardinals have always been my favorite.

Huge Drop In Humidity

I just took a walk and it's gorgeous out this morning! There's been a big drop in humidity which is a huge relief.

Record Dew Point

Yesterday I noted that the dew point was at 84 and that made it the most humid day in the Twin Cities, ever. I read in the paper this morning that we've had three days in a row where the dew point has been at 80 or more which, according to local weather guru Paul Douglas, has never happened before either! I was talking with Dale yesterday about how despite the miserable heat and humidity that life obviously just goes on. You just can't stay inside all day. I took a few walks and found that I was getting used to it somewhat. I made the walks much slower and shorter than usual but still enjoyed the outdoors despite the discomfort.
