The true year without a summer, 1816, was incredible, with snow in parts of the Northeast in June, and a season-ending freeze in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions in August.

Connecticut isn't in the cool or very cool blue area, but it's the same here pretty much. Cool with much too much rain! I feel sorry for the campers around here and there are quite a few who spend their vacas in state parks or by the shore. Oh well..... I could get used to this actually except for the wet. ;-) Interesting. Connecticut isn’t in the cool or very cool blue area, but it’s the same here pretty much. Cool with much too much rain!

And if I ever get down to Texas (your part) you can be sure I'd like to meet you, thanks for the invitation. And ....nah, Clyde won't bother me. Brenda – You’re right we would have a ball!

You and I would have a ball! I have a guest room all ready and waiting. Do you mind if Clyde sleeps with you? He's kind of partial to the end of that bed (and the dogs chase him off of mine.) It was so hot last night I had to turn the temperature up so the air conditioning would finally click off for awhile. It had been running for hours. Oh, and there's bank construction across the street. But the guest room is on the opposite side of the house at the other end, so you're good. Brenda Come on down to Texas, Elaine!

But I do agree, it's great sleeping weather. <strong>Julie</strong> - Someone else from your part of the country was telling me how humid it's been, that in itself can be miserable. Mary – Your Mom is right!

Maybe next week will get warm! We can only hope. I feel for you, those in Chicago have it worse than me. Maybe next week will get warm! We can only hope.

We finally turned on the AC, but it was mostly to knock out the humidity in the house. We have had a couple of days that were 90, but overall, it is not bad. TONS of rain and humidity, though.

Mom just this week remarked that we just hadn't had any real summer yet. The weather people have said that we have only had two days this month where the temps touched the 80 degree mark--far fewer than normal.
