just a psycho babble hot take but what's really going on is that a handful ( more or less ...) of regular users ( of this drug haha) covet loathing summer, and only struggle to maintain acceptance.  but they're like "spring loaded".  at the first sign of anything that doesn't resemble it, it's all safe to come out now - it's gone

They’ve gone off the deep end today . Lol

Sitting outside and it is chilly. This is miserable actually. Nothing fun about this. This might be fine for November but not August. Probably be better if the Sun were out. 

Are you sitting on top of Mt Everest???....You are going to talk yourself into being old long before you are actually old lol

Feels so refreshing. I love it. 68-70 with sun and clouds is absolutely fine.  A nice little taste of Autumn.  We warm back up end of week.

So scarred by winter that every other type of weather that’s not 85/70 is catching all sorts of stay bullets :lol:.

It’ll be warm again soon.

I am scarred. Nothing by misery for months. Summer has been great.

The season of endless finches continue. I don't know why we’ve had so many this summer but it’ll be interesting to see how long the purple ones linger into the fall. Of course, we’ll know when the next spring has officially arrived once they start their to pop up again. Ya love to see it!

I don’t see any purple ones in that picture?  
 

And how do you know when they pop back up again in the spring, that tells you when they left in the fall?  Can’t figure out that reasoning. But Maybe it’s just me?

Yeah it wasn’t that bad of a week, but we were saved a bit by the maritime layer under midlevel smoke puke. 

oh we had a low-grade heat wave sounding in place the whole way.   no question some extraneous factors blunted potential there.

Had one of those in my old neighborhood in Boston. Except she was Greek. Must have been pushing 90, she could keep up with +snow with a circa fiddler on the roof broom. It was really quite impressive.

You see them and you sit there in awe and wonder.  Every leaf and grain of sand in the road is meticulously swept into a pile, picked up, and dumped somewhere no one has ever stumbled upon.  And the sauce simmers on the stove, while the old man escapes to knock back a ball and a banger down at the gin mill.

aside from the fact that if it's like today, in novie, the winter constituency's on suicide watch.

it was 72 for a high today - exactly where I said it would be this morning ( shameless ha!). 

it's 'a little' below normal... sure.  but not out of control.   hate to play this tired card again, but we're suffering some acclimation loading here -

They don’t make em like they used to, that’s for sure. We were born a little too late.

Has everyone noticed how all the blue hydrangea flowers died this summer and turned brownish/ purple? I think it’s due to the hot humid wet summer . No matter what area you live, it happened to all of them 

Ours did well early then completely croaked

Hot ? We've had 10 days in a row of below normal temperatures. Boston just went negative for the month.

They were all loaded this year. Every bush everywhere. And then in late Julorch/ early Augdewst they all died. I was in FMH this past weekend running the road race and it was the same there. 

Likely the cold August.

How far are you from BOS?  *I honestly don’t know so it’s not a loaded question lol.

Are you like the 128 belt?
