High Summer

Our summer has been unusually mild and wet. I'm not complaining. It seems like we've had so many summers with very high temperatures and little rain that this is a welcome change.
Summer indeed! It is turning into a great year for tiger swallowtails and spicebush swallowtails in my area
One time, after having lived for years in the desert Southwest, I returned in mid-August to visit my mother in Youngstown, Ohio. As we walked along the grassy paths of Fellows Riverside Gardens in Mill Creek Park--the temperature 90 degrees with 90% humidity, perspiration pouring out of my forearms--I wondered how I had survived growing up there without sweating to death. That's how I remember high summer in the Buckeye State.
Packrat: Both my brother and brother-in-law, who have moved from Ohio to San Diego, have had occasion to visit the East during mid-summer and have reported reactions like yours. They've also added how glad they are that they've moved to a more arid climate.
