Considering several things were going on in the area, it was great to have such nice weather for them, even though the late evening hours were a little nippy, the daylight hours were plenty toasty.

However, at the start of this work week, we actually had some moisture fall on us and I'm sure my lawn was happy to get the drink and with everything so bone dry, we welcome any kind of dampness we can get.
