Crepe Myrtle Festival

 

Yes, the heat and humidity have returned with heat indices rising into the triple digits, but so has the peak season for crepe myrtles. 

 

 

Makes me wonder why, if people hold cherry blossom festivals earlier in the year, why we don't have crepe myrtle festivals. Maybe because it's just too darn hot? So maybe we could celebrate with appropriately colored (and flavored) crushed ice?

The Bake Shop

 Finally stopped into The Bake Shop. Usually, when students are on campus, there is a long line of people waiting to get inside. This was one of those rare occasions when there was not, so I ordered a couple of sesame seed bagels to go. 

Yellow

(Mostly) Clear Skies

 

Well, with the exception of yesterday's brief and passing storms, conditions here have been mostly sunny and warm, with afternoon temps in the mid to upper 80s. Quite nice, actually.

Still keeping my eye(s) on the sky at Skywatch Friday.
