I hope you enjoyed it.  It rained Friday and Saturday, so I judged it too wet to work in the yard on Sunday.  I, too, took the day off.  Enjoyed a Camilla Lackberg novel. Out at 8 this morning to work the gardens.

It was really, really nice Monday, also. Overcast, there was just enough rain to keep temperatures about 68 degrees F until nearly noon.

And I don't know yet what the high was, but it was sure nice.

That's good.  You all have earned a pleasant day. 

We had a pleasant day today; temperature was probably in the mid 80s with low humidity and a mild breeze.  It was a nice day to be outside.

We are hotter than you are now and it is not cooling off much at night.

My sympathies.

I’m used to it now.

You have had excessive heat for that long?
