It is officially summer.

It arrived with a light rain shower at midnight and then the humidity shot up to uncomfortable levels in the early morning.  By 8:00 AM when I rose, everything was damp.

Breakfast on the deck was followed by some reading for several hours since the heavy rain was keeping me from yard work.  By 11:00 AM I was prepping two large pans of vegetable soup. Lunch on the deck at 1:00 PM was followed by a nap as the rain continued to pour.

It’s been a sluggish day and the evening air is slightly cool but heavy with moisture.

That’s all to report.
