Finally, the relief we needed from the heat. The sky has been that beautiful blue.

I am listening to the last of the thunder and lightning and watching the rain fall, which was all too short.

I am sitting here listening to the glorious rain falling.

I hope by the time you are reading this we have found relief from the heat wave.

The heat is up, the humidity is back and the beaches are crowded. But we need rain.

Sun, mild and warm breezes seem to be the theme of the summer so far.

We had the best weather for the holiday weekend.

The word of the week was "perfect."

On Sunday — Father's Day — I was sitting in a chair with a sweater on and a blanket on my lap while I was writing.

We have been lucky that we have had sunshine, beautiful skies and a nice breeze.
