    ....  I wonder if there was hail this spring that damaged the leaves when they were still young?  It's on all the trees all over so it doesn't seem specific to any one type of tree.  Has made the trees look ratty all summer....  

    Interesting theory. (But it's beyond my knowledge of silvaculture....hopefully someone knows)

  2. Car thermometer hit 100 driving home from Silver Spring this afternoon. (Beltway at 50). Down to 89 by home. My station hit 89 also for the hottest August day so far. Did not expect it.

    Eta: later climbed to 89.7 on the Davis, so I guess I have my first 90 of the month

    P.s. The Climate Changer is from Pittsburgh. He removed his location so he can post all over the board incognito as to location. 

    Maybe the Pitt thing was a false cover in the first place. He's actually in Tokyo perhaps.

    Beautiful day, but we need rain again.  Drove over the Potomac and Shenandoah today near Harper's Ferry and there are lots of rocks exposed again... trees in my neighborhood are also showing signs of stress.

     

    Still pretty good for this time of year...3.2' at Little Falls:

    Years back, when I still could canoe, I think low flow was about 2.8 for float-n-fish trips. Water grows clear in dry periods too. Too clear. Fish notice these things. ;)

    I can't remember the grass ever being this thick heading into August as it is right now. 

    It's not that it's growing fast but there's just so much of it.

    I was thinking this last week. I usually set the cutting height on my mower low in spring, and then when the hot/dry comes along I start cutting it higher. Typically in June. But this year I'm still stuck on the low cut. It think in a week or 2 it will slow down. At least at my location.

    My 8-year-old had to draw a comic in his summer art class- it could be anything he wanted. He drew a story of a family getting their house struck by lightning, flooded and blown up by a tornado and hurricane, so they have to escape by rocket ship. Weenieism is genetic lol

    The rocket ship adds a nice touch.

  7. Downright cool out there by recent standards. 82f on the bumper. KNAK reports 67 DP. Overcast protecting us from strong sun. 

    (Of course, it'll be raining just in time for the weekend to start)
