We had a few good rumbles here mixed in with a few downpours but sadly the good stuff stayed just a little too south. We’ll take some rain for the garden and trees..the poor hydrangeas have been sucking up water like it’s going out of style lol

Still nothing here..just a total steam bath with skeeters flying around and frogs hopping all over the place. Tomorrow is probably gonna feel like a totally different season compared to the swamps of South Carolina which have graced us with their presence lately. 79/75

Please save some action for us swampy toosh infused coastal folks. We could really use it!

It’s a f’ing scorcher out there. We take and bake! 94/70

I did just that earlier hoping to catch a few good shots. One of these days my obsession/innate curiosity of nature will probably be the death of me but to me, it’s all worth it in the end lol. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t terrified of the thunder/lightning as a kid and now I practically play with house money during every storm just to get that perfect shot.

Yeah the thunder is pretty much constant. Maybe something will redevelop just to our west to keep things busy this evening. This air mass is so heavy I’d be shocked if we didn’t get some more action a little later.

Haha what are the friggin odds..I was just out watering some flowers and heard like three quick rumbles that didn’t sound far off. Of course, the day I decide to get out and take care of the plantings is when it looks like a good soaking is about to occur! I think she coming..

Yeah it’s unbelievable. I literally just went to take the dog for a walk thinking the rain had stopped but it started pouring again after just a few minutes. And man, it is soupy out there too with flies galore! We might as well be in the Florida Everglades right now lol. Def tops the rank of dewey days this season by a long shot!

Just had a few good downpours roll through here, probably bringing us a quick half inch. It’s gonna feel like an actual swamp out there this evening once this starts evaporating!

Beautiful, classic summer day out there..warm, with a nice breeze, flies are staying where they belong. Ya gotta love it! Can’t believe some of those pics from the ville though. Actually went to school there for a time and legit recognize some of those streets, just heartbreaking to see. A lot of good people in that part of New England, really sucks to see.

It’s finch city out there this evening..can’t believe how many goldfinches and purple finches have been visiting since early in the spring. It’s gotta be one of those odd years where they all seem to arrive at the same time or perhaps just more have taken up residence around here. Either way, very cool to see!

Sadly our old yipper doesn’t share my love of the glorious, breezy sauna that has overtaken us in recent days. Shes totally ready for her fifth nap of the day followed by some senior approved slop only she could appreciate.

The wind has completely gone dead silent around here, which almost never happens this close to the ocean. My weather senses are telling me the dews are only going to keep building or there are some pretty intense storms about to pass through. Either way, it’s just plain steamy out there!

73/72 The summer of sweaty co cs is just getting revved up!

Glad to hear of everyone getting some beneficial rain. All friendly banter aside I just can’t get enough of the warm, gentle breezes that I’ve grown accustomed to this time of year and at this time of night. It is truly a special time of year as all the sights and sounds of the summer season never fail to put a big fat smile on my face. However, I could do without seeing certain women walking around in ill fitting clothes if you catch my drift.

We’re enjoying every moment of it baby. This is how summer is meant to be. Keep that skin shriveling dryness where it belongs, in the desert southwest!

I know I’m probably staying the obvious for this time of year but I’ll tell ya when the sun is out like it was today, with hardly a cloud in the sky, it is friggin hot..like burning hot! I was down by the waterfront in scituate today and you had to get right in front of the ocean practically, to feel any relief. Maybe I’m just not used to this kind of weather after the swamps of Louisiana decided to pay us a visit much of last summer but man the sheer intensity of that big ball of warmth can’t be denied at this early point in the season. I’m sure tippy can describe in much greater eloquence than myself why this is the case lol.

We just getting started baby. I can’t wait to see all the swampy tooshes and heavy breathing going on in the days ahead as the giant sauna of heavy swampiness inevitably descends upon our humble homesteads! I shall embrace its joyous arrival with a shirtless walk in our mosquito infested neighborhood much to the horror of modest ladies and their perplexed husband's.

Heck of a light show right now after another soaking. Weird how we always seem to get so much more lightning on the backside of these convective bands.

Already seeing some flashes of lightning and rumbles..she comin!

Man that line is just trucking east. Completely different animal from the meandering line of storms that formed earlier. I would not want to be on the roads on a night like this.

Looks like it’s shifting south and east a bit. I can only imagine the intensity of the rainfall for those who happen to get underneath that moisture feed. Our poor little dog is gonna have a rough night with all the rumbles off in the distance.

Boomers everywhere, sticky buns, giant frogs hopping around and a nice glass of cool lemonade while sitting out on the porch, watching the chaos unfold..what more could you ask for this time of year?

Nice sneaky little band of rain coming from a very unusual direction, this time of year. But hey we’ll take a little moisture, no complaints at all. Where was all this a month ago, with layers of pollen practically sticking to every surface imaginable?

It’s starting to feel like last summer once again with the moisture and dews picking up all around. And you know what, I’m loving every minute of it!
