This is the time of year when you almost have to stop using salt. It clumps in the shaker, turns to rock in the carton. Today, when the humidity almost went below 80% for a few hours, it seemed positively balmy. (60 degrees and 96% water in the air, and darned if you're not sweating and shivering at the same time. Air like that laughs at fans.)
It's been raining so much that the ground is full of water again for the first time since spring. Even when the sun is shining the pond continues to overflow. (don't worry, plenty of tadpoles still enjoying the tannin-colored depths)
One of these days I'll get past the driveay and out into the woods to see how the mushrooms are growing. There were some fine ones on a tree in downtown.
