I listened to our weather forecast on the 11 PM news last night, and there was a large mass of rain showing on radar over Wisconsin.  It appeared to me that it was heading in our direction, but the meteorologist […]

We are seeing our temperatures rising a little more everyday with excessive heat expected next week.  The heat index is expected to rise above 100 degrees one day.  We’ll be up north and hopefully it won’t be t […]

Our wonderful summer weather continues with plenty of sun, low humidity, and warm temperatures.  Unfortunately we have a heat wave coming with more highs in the 80s to near 90 degrees.  We’ll be heading north a […]

Our morning temperatures started out in the 50s, and it was great sleeping weather last night.  Today has been comfortably cool with plenty of sun.  This is great weather and for me, it’s perfect.  I know that th […]

Today is one of those rare days when everything about the weather is perfect.  Temperatures are in the comfortable 70s, the humidity is low, and there is enough breeze to open the windows and really air out the […]

There was dense fog when I got up this morning with visibility less than a mile.  That has dissipated but skies remain cloudy.  We should see the sun later today with temps in the low to mid 80s.  Tomorrow is ex […]

Today is perfect in terms of how a summer day should be.  Yes, it is very warm but perfect for water sports if you’re into that sort of thing.  Our morning began with cloudy skies but it has cleared up quite n […]

Today is our last day here for this trip.  It rained most of Saturday but toward evening, the sky cleared and we even saw a little sun.  Temperatures never got as warm as what was predicted and we were happy a […]

The rain began early this morning and hasn’t stopped since.  I’m not sure how much we’ve gotten so far but I know it has to be well over an inch.  Unfortunately, this is expected to continue until late this a […]

Our Thursday is starting out with clouds and chilly temperatures, but it feels good.  The heat will return over the weekend with highs closer to normal once again.  We could see a little rain also.  At home, th […]

Our morning is very warm and humid, typical for a July day in Michigan.  Yesterday was sunny but the smoke from the Canadian wildfires was very evident in our skies and even looking at the horizon.  As we t […]

Today is sunny but our skies look rather grey from the smoke from the western wildfires.  Temperatures are much warmer than what we have had and that’s good for those who like hot weather.  We are heading back t […]

Yesterday was supposed to be rainy and it wasn’t.  Not one drop fell here.  Today is also supposed to be wet but nothing so far.  Radar is showing us right on the northern edge of the rain and I hope we stay th […]

Our skies look like rain but radar is showing most of it to be passing to our west and north.   I did have a few drops on my windshield earlier when coming home from Corunna, but nothing here at home.  All the st […]

Tuesday began with some sun and very humid conditions.  Then the afternoon brought some thunderstorms which left us with an addition 0.84″ of rainfall, something we didn’t need.  This morning is sunny and for o […]

My flowers in my beds are looking good, but those in my pots are looking pretty bad.  There is even mold forming on the dirt.  Some of the leaves are starting to dry up and they aren’t blossoming as they s […]

Today was supposed to be rainy, but I’m seeing now that NOAA has reduced our rain chances to just 30%.  I’m hoping that we don’t get any.  The mosquitoes are horrid with all the rain that we’ve had.  My area re […]

Our morning began with clouds but now the sun is shining.  This should be a nice day.  Our last day up at the campground was a wash-out and miserable.  Our trip home yesterday was  wet most of the way, and onc […]
