@imallears Mary - even Minnesota is having tropical weather - temps in the 90's with dew points well in the 70's for days - interspersed with thunder showers. My walks are also early in the morning now, but high speed county road traffic has been diverted to our quiet road due to construction, so I need to find a new, safer route.

I have truly enjoyed watching all the yard and home improvements going on nearby as everyone spent months at home contemplating how they wanted to improve their lives. Surprisingly, most gardens, now growing crazily in the heat, are being kept nicely weeded and trimmed.
Out now to walk. Oops - walk cut short by a pop-up thunderstorm. Will have to go again this evening.
