WHITHER THE WEATHER

I often have more than one news souce running early mornings while I scan late news and early disasters. In this morning's darkness, listening to the steady downpour that used to signal an all day rain, I realized that it's already August and I haven't been to the lake.  Normally by this late in the season I've had an early morning swim in Lake Johanna a dozen times.

Not this year. Only once so far this summer. What happened to summer and heat? I keep hearing from the fast-talking weather people on local media about climate getting warmer, about hot spells and storms. Mother Nature, in this part of Minnesota, apparently missed that memo.

It's been cool to warm most days and there's been a lot of rain. Good for the flowers, but the kind of stalled heat waves?--Not in my neighborhood. Right now, it's raining really hard. The only persistent heat is of the political kind and while that seems to radically change every week, it stays hot and volatile. Hope you, dear reader, are having a happy summer, filled with hope and warm positive beliefs.
