Chilly August Tuesday Walk Around Sikes Lake
A drastic weather change had me communing with nature for the first time in days, on this 12th day of the 2025 version of August.
Overnight the low was a chilly 68 degrees, as measured by the Fahrenheit method. By the time I nature communed, walking around Sikes Lake, the temperature had soared into the mid 70s.
Brrrr.
I could not figure out what the guys in green in the boat were doing. My first thought was they were police and it was a crime scene. I suspect, though, that such was not the case.
My peaceful slumber, last night, was rendered not so peaceful by a couple hours of storming that began around 3 in the morning. The storming included wind gusts, rain downpours and a lot of lightning strikes, with loud thunder booming.
A couple of the lightning strikes were so close the lightning strike and the thunder boom were simultaneous.
Yesterday my only aerobic stimulation came from verbal jousting with one of my dear Washington friends, she being a master debater who is terribly difficult to outwit.
I feel totally refreshed after the Sikes Lake walk around.
But, I fear a nap may need to be in my future this afternoon....
