What a beautiful morning.  We are having a break from our days record highs of 110 and 111. The cooler temperatures are certainly making it so enjoyable to be outside.

According to folklore, for every fog in August, there will be snowfall.  We are starting August 1 with fog.  Old wives tales tell of moisture 90 days after the first fog, which would make for a wet All Hallows’ Eve this year.  Hopefully I can remember all of this in 90 days to see if it holds true.

So many different colors of Echinacea, coneflowers
