It’s been a hot one

Wow it’s been a hot humid summer this year. I’ve hardly left the house in the last 5 or so weeks…

But today the temperature dipped below 30 for the first time in what seems like ages and it was even breezy with low clouds. The waders had returned to the beaches anyway.

Hot temps will return tomorrow or the day after according to the forecast.

I might even get a get a good night’s sleep in this lull.
