The rain never got here, so, my “night moves” (up until midnight or so) may consist of getting a few more plants in the ground and working on the push mower, while it is cooler!

We are supposed to get a brief dip in the dewpoint, to 59 deg. F (the dewpoint was 72 deg. a little while ago!), so, getting as much of that air into the house and my shop as possible, once it cools off a bit, will also be on the agenda. (Open windows and fire up fans, around 10 pm. I’d disconnected the fans from their usual timers because the last couple nights we ran the small bedroom AC only - unusual for us to need to do in May, even late May.

These past few evenings I’ve been turning on the house A/C for an hour or so before bedtime. That’s been working great to get the humidity out, and then I turn it off and the ceiling fans take it from there.

We’re getting a slight break from the mid-80’s; highs still in the high 70’s, but some much needed rain on and off all week.

Subject to change. By the minute, some days!

Going to hop on the mower early, then prep things for lunch and tomato planting today with Mom and Kathy. :)

Lina Sisco beans, some Glad corms and tucking in Zinnia and Marigolds will be the final stretch!
