There is a weather phenomenon called a singularity. It is “a characteristic meteorological condition that tends to occur on or near a specific date more frequently than chance would indicate”. Here, in Northwest Montana, we have or did have an August Singularity for August 24-26: a very cool, cold event. Locals and particularly local fire fighters are on the alert for the singularity as it has often given an opportunity to get a leg up on wildfires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 27 years that I have lived in this part of Montana, I have experienced and enjoyed this weather phenomenon many times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year … after a 6 day heat wave that was forecast to end on my birthday: August 16, we have experienced a dramatic cool down AND rain! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I look each morning at the forecast to see when we will return to heat and smoke … shuush!!! so far, nothing more than 76F is forecast for the forecast future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feels like early Autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I told a friend, I am enjoying and ignoring the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So cool outside, that I brought in two trays of microgreens!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first non-cherry tomato … Manitoba Tomato … is ripening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Front Porch gardening: 2 Fuchsia are doing well, kale has been harvested from the rolling planter with remaining herbs and flowers all good, microgreens, impatiens, “rock garden” and other herbs are all flourishing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afternoon sun …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morning mist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

32 days until official Autumn, but we are having respite from summer and a preview of autumn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
