our weather has been really odd. Usually it is hot, hazy, humid, and in the high 90's by now. But this year, we had a freak warm spell in February, then winter again, than late June-like weather in April, then winter again, then three weeks of rain, and now it's been overcast and cool for June!
Very strange. We basically missed our whole Spring, which is usually really pretty and mild (though rainy at times). And I can't believe that June is almost over!
During all of the freaky weather, something about it killed almost all of the trees in the pine and fir families. There are brown, dying pines all over the place- even the bushes that belong in that family. I wonder if all of the rain washed away too much acid from the soil... Or, if our strange winter (below freezing for more days in a row than usual) stopped the precipitation from getting down through the frozen ground to water the roots. It's gotta be one of those things, I think.
What has your year been like from Jan 'til now? Anything strange going on in your part of the continent?
And by the way, it's really great to hear you so strong.
