28 June 2025

This week was so hot that I barely went outside.

On 22 June the temperature was still pleasant before 10am when I lead an outing in Schenley Park. There were just two of us to see …

• Chicory with an insect flying in (at 2 o’clock on flower face).
• Fleabane with a lady beetle.
• Duckweed in Panther Hollow lake.

We visited my mother in Virginia Beach this week. On Thursday I went to look at the water and only stayed half an hour. It was SO HOT!!

At was high tide on the bayside beach at First Landing State Park the news said the air was over 94° and the water 80°. Few people were out.

I found some crab tracks. And then I went back indoors.

I’m glad the heat broke at last.
