We had a nice [very brief] downpour last night... however, it's still bone dry. I dug some potatoes - they'd all died off from the scorching heat -- today and the ground was as hard as a rock!

Some of the lawn is greening back up....but, others still brittle and burned brown where the rain didn't hit such as under the trees.

The humidity is still unbearable out of doors! I'm commencing to wonder when will it ever end?

Picked some very nice wild Blackberries --- in amongst the woodlands, but those along the edges are dried up.
