10. Here in South Central Pa we have had the best spring/summer season of the 12 years that I've lived

here.

We actually HAD a spring, something I've not seen last more than two weeks here in prior years. I spent the entire month of May from 11am to 8 pm planting gardens, and loving it. We've had a fantastic pattern of rainfall, meaning I've watered little and not yet lost even my zucchini from what our 'typical' rain pattern is (which I've only seen maybe 3 times this summer): where it either doesn't rain, or else it's rain like we are in a hurricane and floods everything (and a lot of house basements too). Not this year. Just perfect.

The humidity began being tolerable for most all of the summer, and now, it's just downright amazing. Clear beautiful skies, and the humidity in the 40s or even 30s. I even got to take my grandchildren to DC to the Smithsonian and enjoy 35% humidity mid-afternoon. I grew up in DC and days like that are miracles. Same forecast for today down there. Hot, yes, but without the humidity, DC is simply beautiful.

Time to get off this machine and get outside again!
