There is a patch of goldenrod in the timothy grass meadow that decided to bloom today. I’m not sure if that is early or not for the goldenrod as I’ve never really paid attention in the past. Next year I’ll have a date to compare it to. The yellow looks very pretty out there amongst the greens and purples.

Today is much like yesterday in terms of the weather. Hot, humid, clouds floating around in the sky trying to look and keep cool. The wind is supposed to shift sometime this afternoon, bringing up more heat and humidity from the south. The dog days are here.
