So far this summer we have been spared any smoke, fire threats and record temperatures compared to the last few summers, but anything could still happen over the next two months before the Fall rains arrive. 108 is the highest temperature I have recorded here this summer. Not as bad as 115 near the end of June last summer. Last major rainfall was June 13th with 0.65 of inch at my place and only a few drops since then. August is not my favorite month with hot afternoons preventing me from doing any outdoor work. The sound of crickets at night is encouraging, a sign of change. Fall can't get here fast enough for me.
