There’s quite a bit of common milkweed near our house along paths and in open space. Haven’t seen any monarch caterpillars or chrysalises. Haven’t seen many butterflies period this year.
Ggem and euro suddenly look way less impressive for rainfall next week. Gfs still pretty wet. That’s never a fair fight. Going to get pretty toasty IMBY after the next 3-4 days if we fail on rain.
I’m jealous! Saw ISS, Jupiter, and Saturn but could not find the comet. Some low clouds on the horizon and light pollution probably were the reason why.
I’m not an expert, but I think it’s more than just that that’s caused changes. I think a big reduction in coal power plants from the Midwest has been part of it too.
The heat sucks, but let’s take a moment to appreciate the glorious clean air. A huge change from 20-30 years ago.
