Wednesday: Me ‘n the mosquitoes had a great walk home. True, my gauge differs from mosquitoes in that I don’t require the blood of humans to fuel my walk, nor do I lay my eggs in standing pools of water, but we both enjoy the outdoors, and after the torrential downpour on Monday, I had lots of company on the trails.

The hail and the apparent 80mm of rain knocked down a heck of a lot of leaves from the trees, but the creek wasn’t noticeably higher. Still hot, humid and unequivocally, summer. Not much more to say…
