I sure have. Normally this time of year my lawn has turned completely brown and went dormant by now. Can't put enough water on it to keep it green normally. This year it is as green and lush as it normally is only in the spring. Last month was the wettest July on record here in Illinois. And hotter than hell.

The yellow bug lights that we always put in for the summer are worthless. The bug lights attract just as many bugs as regulars bulbs would this year. Can't even turn them on this year without attracting thousands of bugs. Not sure what is causing that?

We normally keep our central air on a constant 76 degrees. Not this year. Had to lower that to compensate for how hot we get when we go outside for a few minutes.

Used to drink a couple of cups of coffee every morning sitting onside on the patio. Not this year. Too hot. Even in the morning before the sun comes up it is still too hot to sit outside and drink a hot cup of coffee.

Anyone else notice any differences from past summers?

Don
