Sweet looking week incoming. Very brief mild up Thursday and Friday then right back into it. Doesn't get much better!

Tolerable. Usually when I go to Florida I visit friends in Tampa right on the Bay. Way better than Orlando but I still wouldn't want to be there for the summer.

Seriously, why do people live there?

65/55 with a stiff breeze. Summer weather everyone can agree on! Grab the hoodie and spark up the fire pit.

Enjoy the pool party!

SGIDI Sure glad I didn't install.

54 here. Could do without the rain but the temperature's heavenly. Maybe we can make it last through the summer.

That's awesome! Take a picture sometime when you get a chance.

You put the bug in my ear to measure some of my trees. Can you please repost your measurements. Biggest / oldest seems to be a white oak at around 12 ft in circumference. Using the growth rate charts I found puts it at around 190 years. Although I couldn't find the growth rate for black locust. Have one a little over 12 ft.

Looks like Southern Vermont is the jackpot. Just enough rain here to suck.

In my line of work it's unavoidable. I've had lyme three times. Catch it early and doxicillin the next day you're right as rain. If you ever catch Anaplasmosis however don't mess around. Had it once when it was pretty much unknown in New England. Drove myself to the hospital about 2 miles away and got lost. I was burning up. 106° temperature. They admitted me right away. My blood counts were unreal. What was kind of cool though was I found out the CDC really does its job. They called me right away.

It's a regular Crow fest today! Couldn't get any nicer.

Pro like you shouldn't need any stupid radar. You have a nose for ozone.

Yeah except it's more like 110 there. I have spent a couple Junes in Phoenix. If you see someone outside you give up them a double take.

Rhode Island has become the rain Capital of New England

My nephew found a Merlin falcon on the side of the road. I wish I had known before he let it go. I guess they can be pretty good hunters.

Feels heavenly.

I still have plenty. And my beeches are dying as well. Like somebody else posted The copper beach still looks great. Weird that just a little different DNA wards off The disease.

Hopefully we get lucky during the upcoming unsettled period. Always a crap shoot this time of year.

I think folks will be ready for it. After tomorrow it looks pretty crappy for a while. " Our weather pattern then changes to a cloudy and more unsettled outlook by Thursday and continuing into early next week. Widespread rain showers and embedded thunderstorms are expected on Thursday. Shower and thunderstorm coverage for Friday into Monday then becomes more scattered with some dry periods at times. Temperatures trend slightly cooler than normal.

It's likely this. If it was winter moths they would have eaten the maples as well. "Beech leaf disease (BLD) affects and kills both native and ornamental beech tree species"

With the rust does the whole tree discolor at the same time usually? And thanks

Seeing this quite a bit on smallish pines ( 5 to 10 in in diameter) . Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

That just looks so summer. Thanks for posting.
