The summer is short but oh-so-sweet. It is rare to see temperatures higher than the low 80s, the humidity is almost too low, and except for late afternoon thunderstorms, there's little rain or cloud. We have no air conditioner and never miss it.
As the other DrC has noted in her blog (http://cruztalking.blogspot.com), our creeks and rivers are running more than usual. It is the result of a very wet winter and a big snow pack.
Our lakes and reservoirs are full, too. They'll spend the fall draining them down so there will be room to do flood control next spring; lakes freeze over in winter.
