We woke to overcast skies, and a cool breeze. It was wonderful. But the overcast has already burned off before 9am, and another hot day is on tap. The trees are hosting a scrubjay and blue bird convention, it seems!
We had a strong summer storm come through last night, bringing little moisture but lots of thunder and lightening. Many down fires [lightening coming down into trees, sparking fires] kept the local and nearby volunteer fire departments busy, along with local forest association personnel. Nothing super slose to us, thank goodness, but another reminder to "be ready".

Hello, Ginger. @gingerw
What a tough time for my Western friends, and mid-west,too. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.
Question from one of your Southern friends who regularly deals with the weather, ie hurricane season now through Sept and summer afternoon storms, highest # lightening event in US and lots of hot, humid days.....but still love it here and as do we all learn how to handle it all, good and not so good.
Do you folks do regular brush clearing throughout the years? Is this, clearing out the dead brush & trees, important to the reduction of lightening fires? Was it stopped or reduced due to environmental concerns?
Good to know you're doing well Keep up the s.iles, walking in circles around your kitchen...Blessings. elizabeth
