Remind yourself that this phase is also temporary VJ.
Have some comfort food and smile.

Thank you. Partaking in a bit too much comfort food, I’m afraid, lol.

I am ready for cooler weather! We’ve had thunderstorms roar through our area with a lot of noise and very little rain. I’ve read about other areas that have over 100 F temps and because it is so dry, forest fires are becoming more of a threat.

It is hard to keep everything watered here. I have a tree already starting to turn and drop leaves, it always seems too soon.

VJ, I don’t know about you, but I grew up in North Florida. It was hot and humid and thunder-stormed almost every afternoon. I met a minor baseball player who said he played in Jacksonville, and every day it would t-storm and then stop and we would play at 7:30 pm.
I mention this as it seems to be doing the same now in North Carolina. The budding trees do not know when to bloom. Are you seeing such your way? I read recently, the Maine lobsters have migrated northward, so lobsterpeople have to travel further out. Keith

Very hot and humid here. And everything is so dry. Early in the season for that I should think.
