Another bowls + shopping day. I set out in the morning to scope out a few stores and was surprised at how warm and muggy it was. There is still a lot of cloud around, so much that I can't remember the last time I saw blue sky, but today the temperature was at least five degrees warmer than during the past week.
The afternoon bowls was a bit of a shambles (that is, my bowling was a shambles) and halfway through the breeze shifted and the temperatures immediately dropped back to yesterdays cool levels. What is going on? A few hours of wind made me think a storm was brewing but nothing came of it.
Sadly, the only nature in all of this was bidding farewell to two more lettuces, who succumbed to the cutworms. That and I noticed a large group of crows camping out in the big oak tree in the evening. They stuck around for at least an hour before moving on.
