Yo Yo Weather

by Tricia

I’ve found the weather to be very strange this week.

It was really hot hear last weekend, but we had a good rain storm on the Sunday and it cooled things down making the beginning of the week fairly pleasant. In fact, with the rain we had on Sunday and the cooler days on Monday and Tuesday we didn’t even think about watering the garden until Wednesday night.

Wednesday and Thursday were fairly hot, but then today – Friday we were back to reasonable mid to late summer temperatures.

However earlier this evening the wind really started to pick up. I mean it’s really windy outside. Windy enough that my husband was eying our neighbors huge Maple and he was hoping that the wind didn’t get any stronger because he really thought some of the tree branches might start coming down.

So you can imagine with all that wind it’s cooled down quite a bit. I expect it will get quite cool through the night.

If the weather we’ve experienced in the past week were a diet it would be a yo yo diet.

It looks like Saturday and Sunday will have temps in the mid 70’s. My husband and I are again hoping to get some gardening work done over the weekend and I’m actually quite happy that it won’t be too hot. I can’t work up the desire or energy to do major garden work when it’s 100 degrees and humid outside.

How’s the weather been in your area?
