Unusually Cool…

…For this time of year, and the Summer has been mild with only a few days in the 100’s, compared to last year when we had three weeks in the 100’s.

Low 100’s, humidity 20% at most

6:20AM and 73 degrees.

Low 100’s today, humidity 20% at most

6:20AM and 73 degrees. 9:30 and 89 degrees.

Salmon

After filleting and bagging, we had 8-3/4lbs of salmon… Nice!

Freeze it, and next up is tomatoes.

…and the not Usual.

It’s been a remarkably mild Summer so far, with mostly high-80 and mid-90’s temps, and awakening to clouds like this was completely unexpected.

Our neighbor friend returned from a trip to Alaska with a 30-lb. frozen salmon, which they gave to us as a gift because 1.) it’s huge, and 2.) his wife is not fond of salmon or fish. It’s slowly defrosting in my ice-chest, and I bought a long filleting knife – life is good! It will make many salmon steaks for the freezer.

Back to the Usual

82 and climbing, going to the mid 90’s by Friday. Another twenty-odd bags of tanbark for a total of seventy-some. And I drew a straight line separating the homestead from the prairie, so now I have a mow-line for when Fall comes around.

Funky Middle-European Weather

79-degrees and overcast at 11:20 – not very average, and more humid than usual at 40%. That’s crazy, should be 89-degrees and 14% humidity…

Anvil Cloud

Over the High Sierra. About 90-degrees today, and climbing.

First real 100-Degree Day

It’s been warming up, but today hit the mark. Glad we switched out all the incandescent bulbs for LEDs.

Some shade standing under the pine in back, picking up cones and fallen branches – but still sweat steadily dripping off the brim of my straw cowboy hat. Remember to hydrate.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend

Looking nice today with mild temperatures and sun – and the cows are happy, but the second wave of weather is fixing to arrive tonight, and rain is forecast all day tomorrow.
