Colima is still erupting big in western Mexico with ash falls for several miles around and evacuations of nearby towns. The number of volcanoes on this week's list is down from the the last few weeks but the volcanoes on the list are all causing locals to take notice and perhaps leave the area for awhile. Rich soil is only useful when the parent of the soil is quiet!
The rain and humidity ruling the east coast has taken a two day break as some cool, dry Canadian air has settled into the mid-Atlantic but the heat and moisture laden air of summer is going to replace the coolness for the weekend and until the middle of next week. Thunder storm chances go up tomorrow and the mushrooms that are everywhere here in the forest will get another dose of moisture to fuel another fruiting round of potential tasty treats. The Boletes and Chanterelles pictured below are the only ones that will end up on my plate - and tasty they were - until I learn of any others to safely consume. My shitake logs still remain dormant…or dead…even with all the moisture. My tomatoes are plentiful but still green and the jalepenos are still in growth mode, recovering from the munching they received apparently soon after planting and my departure. They are making a valiant comeback!
While the less than two day old crescent moon will be tough to spot tonight it should be high enough in the west northwest tomorrow night to see and worth checking. Saturday night will find the moon just below still bright Venus with Jupiter just to the right (west) of the moon/Venus pairing. Check out Venus and Jupiter tonight if you have clear skies in preparation for the moon/planet trio tomorrow night.
For east coast readers get out and enjoy the humidity relief that today offers but wherever you might be on the big planet, get out and wander and check things out, Today on Earth - it will be different tomorrow and you don't want to miss a day!!
The Natural Chimney - I like the lone tree on top, a real survivor!
