Cold, damp gloomy weather swiched abruptly to HOT, Humid weather, stifling tourists, locals, plants and animals. Little activity downtown (except traffic) as people headed to the beach. The week's parse rain and two 90+ F days caused my blueberries and shadberries to fall off the plants, a rabbit to sprawl beneath my maple tree, my rhubarb to wilt and my hosta leaves to become edged in brown. (Subsequent lengthy watering is helping all survive.) More heat and little rain is forecat. Summer has arrived - with a vengeance.
