51 degrees when I got up this morning, but dewy grass and hazy skies. No wind.
But - as an added bonus - I got to watch a crop duster in his bright yellow plane, a few farms over from us. We don’t spray and neither does the cattle operation that butts up against ours, but you can see for MILES from up here on the hillside and that operation has thousands of acres of beans and corn getting doused this morning.
Love the sound of it. :)
Going out to pick beans in a few. Beans and cukes and MONSTER zukes are all I’m harvesting this season. :(
We used to have a pretty decent view to the West, until the silos went up next door to our West. OTOH, the duster-helicopter has to pull up sharply when he gets to those silos - there is a field both South and West of the silos. With the big spray rig on the chopper, and the loud noise of the chopper itself, it’s quite impressive.
Down to 52 here this morning with 90-100% humidity but will be warming back up after this.
Cool snap has me rereading about tunnel ventilation and climate control. Nothing I haven’t read before but it’s been a while.
Temp vs humidity for Fall/Winter is going to be a balancing act. Can’t keep a plastic bubble closed up 24/7 with our humidity but ...
We get a lot of ice too. Freezing rain that builds up on every surface. That’ll be interesting with roll up sides. The locals remember a time when they had 2 inches of ice and were stuck at home for a week or two.
Evidently my son felt like turning on the heat yesterday morning too because I noticed this morning that a space heater was pulled out and aimed under the kitchen table which is our fix for cool mornings.
