It's been hazy for several days, so hazy that we can't see the Blue Ridge in the distance. I believe it's smoke dispersed from the Canadian fires, but it's not been smoky smelling or particularly eye irritating.
Then we had a good, air-cleansing rain and the far mountains were back!
A few hours of sunshine and then the evening mists rolled in. There was rain in the offing--and a bit of a rainbow.
We are so fortunate to have rain--and, at the moment, rather cool weather. It's the sort of weather we moved here for, to escape Florida's heat and to be able to send postcards south in June, saying, Sleeping under blankets!

Those postcards indicate a malicious streak. 🤓
They were a long-standing (pre-AC) tradition, as any Floridians who could manage it, vacationed in NC in the summer and sent those postcards back to their sweating, less-fortunate friends. Yep, a tad malicious.
We finally had rain yesterday, a full inch. A relief after our area was officially declared to be in a drought. But we still can't see the Blue Ridge. 😄
Windows open when the air is cool and low pollutation. I enjoy the coolness in mornings...but do close up most afternoons if the sun hits these walls. That's what all ladies of the south have been doing for generations! I like Florida in the winter, as do so many northerners...and we certainly don't qualify as that!
