<\/a><\/p>\nThis spring was full of sky blue and grass green and this summer it continues. There have been no fires close as yet and very little real heat. Although a mini-heat wave of 3 days above 90 is forecast for this week, we have maybe had 3 days all summer where the temperature went above 90. Mostly it has been a very pleasant mid to upper 80’s during the day and 50’s overnight – theoretically our seasonal norm. <\/p>\n
The heavy winter snow pack gave the mountains a good drink as they have remained green above the tree line…a good sign I hope as we head into the worst time for wildfire starts. The cool nights and moderate days have kept the skies that clear shade of sky blue that provides for a beautiful background for the fluffy clouds that build up afternoons as well as the green of the mountains.<\/p>\n
I caught a bit of the blue and green yesterday morning when Karl and I walked. We’ll be away from this path after today as our neighbors are to arrive this afternoon and we will be off the ridge path until they leave in a week or two…<\/p>\n
