Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous.  Our temps made it into the 80s and the humidity was low.  There was a nice breeze which kept the house comfortable with the windows open.  Storms were rolling in late in the day but they didn’t affect us here where I am.  Inf fact, there was only 0.08″ in my gauge this morning.  The UP, however, received some pretty heavy weather but I haven’t heard of any storm damage as yet.  Today is also a nice day with plenty of sun but our temperatures are about 15° cooler than yesterday.  Unfortunately,  rain is in the forecast for the remainder of the week and some is expected to be heavy.
