The last week of July had some heat and we dealt with it accordingly!

Thankfully a nice cool front whooshed through on Saturday evening and the last day of July was warm, but pleasant and things cooled early enough to sleep without A/C or fans.

This week saw the first summer tomatoes – real tomatoes that smell and taste like tomatoes!

We had a bit of smoke from Idaho yesterday, but that has cleared this morning.

August starts significantly cooler and clearer than last year’s smokey 100F – it is 52F this morning with a high forecast of 84F.

We are headed to the peak of the interior west’s fire season, but not as scary dry as last year with the high country still looking quite green. I have high hopes for a much better August this year.

Onward!
