05-19-2026 — Good old Summertime

Howdy all. Summer arrived like a rocket ship yesterday. Temperatures went straight up from 70ish in the morning, to mid 80s in the afternoon. Last night the temperatures barely fell into the 60s before heading up again in the sunshine today.

By 18:00 yesterday (Monday) the temps were very warm. There had been a prediction of rain for the evening, but other than a tiny drizzle very early today, none came.

With the sun beating down today, the highs are well in the 80s at 16:00 (4pm), and the 95+ is blistering hot. But that is on the ground covering black fabric under the garden beds near the garage. I’m guessing the indoor garage temp is lower today because I didn’t open the doors to drive truck to grocery store. Keeping it closed, helps keep it cooler.

Storms are predicted again for today — hope we get some rain for the plants. And tomorrow it will be closer to 50 to start the day — down about 20 degrees. A few 40s overnight likely for next week with highs possibly pushing 60 degrees. That’s also a 20 degree plus drop. So summer’s almost gone and fall is coming around. It was a nice summer..
