Rain again, over a half inch from about 1:30 yesterday afternoon, overnight & until 11:00 this morning. Some of it was hard enough to wash mulch in places.
Yesterday, it was so muggy & ‘close’, I was in a major sweat after 10 minutes outside. It was the perfect time for a trip in the air-conditioned truck over the mountain, through another gap to Lowe’s. I picked up 8 landscaping timbers, weed killer & 2 more sections of landscape edging so I can finish the front of the house. Meanwhile, the sky was turning very dark to the west. There was another stop I wanted to make, but decided to skip it & skedaddle home. The storm was in my rear view mirror the whole trip & big winds/rain hit about 20 minutes after I got the truck in the barn.
Trying to do things in the shade for the afternoon - repotting my basil, unloading the truck, reorganizing what I have stashed in the barn, painting my double washtubs & stand. The Belmont is at 6:30 so I’ll probably have an hour after that until sunset when it should be ‘cooler’. We’ve gone fairly directly from Spring (50’s last week) to Summer (90’s).
