Mother Nature Makes Up Her Mind

Yes, Mother Nature made up her mind about the weather today. It was cloudy and humid but much cooler when I headed out for this week's Saturday morning errands. It started to sprinkle when I was at the bank. The rain got harder after I arrived at the farm market. Thank goodness I didn't have much to buy anyway. I just picked up blueberries, peaches, blackberries, zucchini, yellow squash, corn, and cherry and beefsteak tomatoes.

The rain picked up on my way home from the farm market. I was dripping wet when I walked in the door. (Needless to say, I saw no yard sales today.) I spent the rest of the morning taking advantage of the weather to bake Zucchini and Carrot Muffins. I opened the windows to give the air conditioner a rest. It was probably only in the lower-mid 80s, but it was soooooo humid! The air seemed to be thicker than seafood chowder.

It showered for most of the morning. I debated calling for a ride to work, but the rain had settled down into a drizzle by quarter of 2. I rode my bike. It was still drizzling, but nothing like earlier in the morning.

Work was busy when I started my shift, but it cleared out so quickly that I spent the last two hours doing returns...and there weren't even many returns to do. Needless to say, there were no major problems and I was in and out on time. (I'm a bit surprised it was so dead after the farm market was crowded this morning, even in the rain. A lot of people must have headed to the Shore this afternoon.)

It was still humid when I rode home, but the clouds were breaking up and the rain was gone. Looks like it's probably going to stay that way this week - a bit warmer, but not as hot as last week...but still humid.
