A Break Would Be Nice

Strawberry Hedgehog and Claret Cup Hedgehog growing side-by-side

Last night was a repeat of a scenario we've had a few times during the past week:  thunder and lightning begin around midnight followed by heavy rain.  Then the humidity is sky high the following morning.  As we're headed for a high of 91F today it felt pretty miserable for Becca and me when we were trekking on the west side of Tortugas Mountain.  We did a slightly shorter hike because neither she nor I were enjoying ourselves very much.  As a result I wasn't in the mood to take many photos.  Sure will be nice when the temps start consistently dipping into the 80s.

What a tangle
