No storms for pwm?

So with all the dry weather in June then bunch of rain caused a mold issue on part of our lawn, which killed it. I remember a few weeks ago noticing the blades of grass were black. Didn't think much of it as it rubbed off pretty easily. On the news this morning they had a report about lots of lawns experiencing this problem. Good to know it's not just our lawn but it's one more death blow to the yard

Oriental beetles

Only 1 reported death in Mass.  Percent positive still down near 1.6-1.7%.  
 
Anyone know what those little brown beetles are that are everywhere right now? Last year they were horrible. This year not as bad but super annoying. The size of Japanese beetles.

Not hitting 90F today. 88.5f max. Temp/dews dropping now.

Low of 74.2F.

Looking at the snow arch in the pictures, the idea crossed my mind....yup, it collasped and luckily the person was only hurt not killed.

Been in Iceland and Norway and watched people stand under melting glaciers and just shook my head.

Was pretty sure one of our cats was a goner. Was taking a nap and heard a noise outside window. Sounded almost like a dove bird but louder and with a growl. Looked outside the window and there was a fox rolling in the grass. I had let all three cats out earlier, but brought them all in except one. Was certain the fox was eating the cat. I scared it off and went out to call the cat in. She sauntered around the corner like she wasn't scared, but she was less then 20' away from where the fox was. Almost seems like the fox was playing,.knowing cat was there. Oh well, got cat back inside. We've seen this fox on occasion, but this is the closest to the house we've seen it. Wife not impressed

Great stuff
Temps?

Good hike up to Washington this morning. What a mob scene when I got down. Never seen so many cars at Pinkham.

Oh and I forgot that when we got in the the room, all the decor looked straight out of like the early to mid 1970s....which now makes sense because the place opened in 1970 and hasn’t been updated since....lol
