The past two days here in Tupelo, MS have been heavenly. Our oppressive heat / humidity has taken a vacation, and today actually gave a little hint of autumn.

So our weather is wonderful!

Bardstown Kentucky - the last four days have been gorgeous. low 80's F in the daytime, down to 55 F last night. This is unusual for July. Last Tuesday was awful. Even though it only got up to 94 or so, the humidity was about the same, would catch your breath and fog your glasses just to walk outside. I can come upstairs and visit Mudcat when it cools off, but I'll have to stay downstairs if it gets hot again.

My perennial garden is in full bloom. Garden phlox (from my grandmother's garden) is blooming, along with the Black-Eyed Susans. Coreopsis are still blooming too. My gardenia bush in a pot on the patio had its first bloom this week!

Prescott, Arizona: mid-80s, mostly sunny, we had our first rain of the summer monsoon season today. The afternoon wind is blowing through the cottonwoods. The columbines have been up for a few weeks now, but most of the other wildflowers are over.

Orillia, Ontario, Canada - a sunny, breezy, gorgeous day, with small cumulus clouds. Could hardly be better.

Cooler than usual for this time of year in Pennsylvania, but thankfully no rain for the past week. My tomatos are finally growing and the zucchini is coming along great - but no joy with the peas this year. Lets hope for some slightly warmer weather for August == Mark

It's been rather sunny. I've been tan this whole summer from working outside by the water. I've heard it was suppose to rain today. So far it's been sunny. I'm starting to wonder why I had to cut the grass yesterday.

Here in southeast Alaska we're in the middle of summer. Meaning it has cooled off again- down to the middle 50s, from the upper 60s- and the rains have been back since July 4th. Doesn't sound much like backyard barbecue weather, does it.

However, the flowers are in full, brilliant bloom and the grass is lush and green. The lilacs have just finished, astilbe and columbine are thriving, phlox in all its many colors is taller and brighter than I've ever seen it, on every hillside and dale, foxglove is blooming and stands about 4 feet tall now, on its way to 7 or 8 feet, petunias and pansies are in riotous color, nasturtium are budding and bachelor button is past its prime, day lilies are gorgeous yellow, scenting the air with their grapey, lemony, vanilla-y smell, the asiatic lilies are coming on; in the flower beds I have calendula,impatiens and geraniums.

Salmon are spawning and the eagles and sea gulls are in hog heaven; we are aware that if you don't want to meet bears it's not a good idea to go into the woods right now, especially next to a spawning stream.

Summertime- and the livin' is easy.

Well, the weather was nice and seems OK again now. My parents went to see an outdoor production on Hamlet in Felbrigg (local National Trust Place and I believe, a lovely setting - I've yet to walk through the grounds). There was a flash and a bang and although the players at first tried to carry on, it was abandoned.

Garden here is great - enjoying new potatoes and brocolli at the moment. My favourite flower at the moment is the foxglove that decided to take root here. The roses, particularly one I believe is called "Rambling Rector" are looking splendid...

...hmmm well, let's see......the land of flowers is very hot and sultry... the salt air has ninety eight percent humidity and it is ninety five...we've had a lot of rain finally and the fires are mostly out...now it's sinkholes cropping up...

flowers are wonderful this year...I have coreopsis daisies, pentas, caladiums, basil, mexican heather, hydrangea...the air smells like ripe fig trees ...we had fifteen inches of rain last month and five so far this month...rain brings out the scorpions,

I am off the porch from a late afternoon music session, driven in by mosquitoes, which I hear are carrying west nile virus to crows in the next county...lots of cicadas in the still wet air....it's great to be alive....hope everyone is having a nice day...harpgirl
