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.

55° outside & foggy this morning. I love the cool air after sweltering under a heat dome the last couple of weeks with high humidity & a heat index of 100+ almost every day. Mom is very thin & cold-natured .... she’s going to want the heat on in the car when we go to church.

Stepping outside, the air smells strongly like fresh mown grass. The neighbor behind us had his field cut for hay yesterday & I mowed as well - the cut grass smell is ‘delicious’! I saw several other tractors busy in fields yesterday, either cutting, baling, or loading bales to haul - with very little rain in the forecast for the next 10 days, it’s ‘making hay while the sun shines’ time.

One last ‘cool’ day for us, too - then back to high 80’s again. Got the lawn mowed yesterday - but it’s been taking longer than normal because the grass just won’t dry out!

I see I may have a few more ripe tomatoes to pick today, so trying to get motivated to make/can V-8 Juice.

We shall see. Not making any promises until AFTER more coffee, LOL!
