(In addition to the wildlife slowdown during July and August, our weather was unusually wet and cloudy for summertime - or at least it seemed that way to me. ) You're right, the weather was as you described, and obviously the wildlife behaves differently; in fact, even we humans—almost everything in nature, really. I listen to the news while I work from my apartment; it's become a habit. Sometimes the reporters laugh when the weatherman comes in with his forecasts. He smiles a little too and says, "This is my job, and I do it well, but the weather makes me look bad." I like hearing this; he always says something funny. The weather can't be predicted accurately these days.
Have a happy Friday.
