Both the heat and the humidity are up today, but the forecast is for it to be cooler than yesterday… another summer’s morning coffee muses.

Another hot day with a bit of precipitation in the forecast. All week long showers have dominated the edges of my world. Thunder rumbling in the distance. Rain falling in distant dark curtains. But never more than a mist of a promise here.

The radar shows many small thundershowers scattered around the state. But, even more of the state is dry. Our chances of rainfall today are 40%… or in other words, our chance of no rain is at 60%.

The world is quiet. Just a few cars and trucks on the road. Of course, the white noise machine blowing not so cool air is humming away keeping the noise at bay.

A male cardinal is on the feeder, a fledgling fussing from the chaste tree. A blue jay joined the cardinal for a quick bite before flying off.

I see from my Facebook notifications that my youngest son is back in Scotland. If he’s not careful he will end up trying to migrate back.

Well, the heat is beginning to hit the back of my neck as the sun rises so I think it’s time to head in and get ready for breakfast…
