You’re right - it was really refreshing. The real heat hasn’t come yet but we do have a few bad days ahead, one due to hit 95 that we’ll likely sit out. After that it looks like things will quickly drop down again though. We’re lucky we’re so far north.

I do not know why some of the stone posts have holes.
It’s been amazing to me too. We’ve talked about biking here from time to time but never felt quite motivated to. Now that we’re here I’m spinning the calendars through my head thinking through when we might return. Could be sooner than later.

What a close call, very unnerving! So glad nothing happened! Those darned wasps would make me very nervous, too.
