<p>Pet Embargo? Wow. It is only 90 degrees today - feels good.</p>
<p>I think it wasn’t even that warm in Ballard.
I even have clothes on today!</p>

<p>I’m sorry BB. All of our rain effected my reading compensation. I’ve enjoyed your posts and should have known better to doubt your stats. :)</p>
<p>We got a ripe fig at grandma’s house ! More the next few days, if we can keep the thieving squirrels and homo sapiens away.

<p>Through July 30, the average temperature at the airport in Madison was 65.7 degrees, or 5.9 degrees below normal. August is also expected to be cool,</p>
<p>Two winters ago we had 101 inches of snow about 40 inches above the record. Then the floods came. Last winter seemed endless and was very, very cold.</p>
<p>I’m in Eastern Washington and hot weather is not unknown to us. Still, I was surprised that it reached 103 today! I took a nap and dreamed my apartment was on fire . . . I blame the heat!</p>
