Only a few more days of the heat and humidity and then things will settle down into a more comfortable zone. Fingers crossed on that, but for now that’s what it’s looking like here.

Keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Gordon way down to the south of us. In touch with a friend in Shreveport, Louisiana, who is keeping her fingers crossed that at least some of that storm makes its way up to her area. It’s been exceptionally, oppressively hot and dry there this summer and quite frankly they will welcome any precipitation they can get in whatever form it takes. I know it’s been hot and dry here, but nothing like what it’s been down that way. Sheer misery.
