Ten Degrees Above Average

This June has been incredibly hot and humid.  By 10am every day the head index has already climbed into the high 90s.  And with our very loud and robust cicada population the feeling of humidity is enhanced by the jungle-like sounds.

Today we are having normal temperatures for the first-time this month; mid-80s, about 40% humidity.  It is a lovely day.  I was able to accomplish so much today without the excessive heat tiring me out by noon.  I went to lunch with my husband, went to two coffee houses to see local art shows, explored some new shops and discovered a new gallery which I plan to visit on Friday (when open).  And now, usually the hottest time of day, I am able to sit outside with my dog in the shade with a cool breeze and a cold drink.  Today has been delightful. 

Tomorrow I am going to explore a nearby park that looks magical from the road; big trees and a winding creek.  The weather should be just as beautiful tomorrow as it is today, which makes it the ideal time for city park exploration.  Louisville has 18 Olmsted Parks, the same architect who designed New York's Central Park.  I am excited for the new exploration and will give a vivid description of the adventure.
