While much of New England had flooding rains and damaging storms, the Northeast Kingdom fared much better. Here in Island Pond we had .87″ of rain. Coles Pond in Walden got .30″, Wheelock recorded .49″.
Now that the ffront has moved through the air feels much better today with cooler temps and lower humidity.
Today is one of those perfect summer days with temperatures in the low to mid 70s, light wind and low humidity. Couldn’t ask for a nicer day in my opinion. Last night was on the cool side for July with lows in the 40’s in the NEK. We bottomed out at 45° here in Island Pond.
The forecast is calling for another cool night tonight followed by another beautiful day tomorrow with slightly warmer temps. By Sunday the humidity will be a little higher with a chance of showers by afternoon.
I finally noticed our first tomato of the season! We have two varieties, a cherry tomato and a better boy full sized beefsteak variety. While the cherry tomato plant has blossoms, it is the larger Better Boy plant has the first fruit on it. I can’t wait until we pick our first ripe tomato!
First green tomato of the season.
