Summer without a summer

We had an unexpected visit from my godson, Tom McKean **************



 We are well into August and it  hasn't felt like summer yet. Not only has it been cool, but we have not been to a single Music Festival event, which makes summer summer for us.  That's mainly because of me. I have not been outside the house for probably six weeks.  As I get weaker, I have increasing concerns about walking up stairs.  I have sat on the deck a few times. We'll be into cold weather again before we know it. But it just hasn't felt like summer. We were concerned about humid, hot days in the 90's, but they have not materialized even though we had installed a free-standing AC unit just in case.   

Now the weather will be increasingly fallish. We shouldn't have to worry about being overheated this year. Gosh! Have I experienced my last really hot humid day?  

Later:

Now it’s August 20! Still cool - in the mid 50s. Still haven’t left the house. Lots of of visitors!
