Describes the situation here, as well. You walk outside and the humidity
is god-awful and the ground is baked dry. The last two days we have had
impressive thunder storms all around us, but not a drop of rain.
Everybody's garden is starting to look pooped. The lilies are terrible
this year, the Joe Pye Weed is already in full bloom (normally not seen in
flower until late August). Everything is confused and confounded.
