Just read a story concerning low peach crop for southern Illinois this year. Bummer, love me some peaches, but man, they are a finicky fruit.

Japanese beetles are wrecking havoc in our gardens here in the 217. They are destroying rose buds, Zinnas and totally leaving our cherry trees left with skeletonized leaves.

No rain in Southeastern Illinois is wrecking havoc with allergies

Fog. Nope. Smoke mixed with some rain? Worst air quality in the world? at least not orange like NYC.

Pumpkins are also off to a rough start.

WMAY will now be 100% right wing bs. Frank McNeil is also leaving. The stories coming from there right now is insane. I give it a year and it will go away, very sad.

The smell of smoke hit me in the face when I opened the back door this morning. That ain’t good!

There was some kind of fairly big flash mob / takeover event near the Belmont Red Line stop last night in Chicago, but it’s hard finding any media coverage of it yet for except right-wing online sources which I’m disinclined to trust.

With this smoke, I feel like I’m at a campfire I can’t get away from.

Mother Nature is sending smoke signals…the message is clear.

Been running my COVID era DIY box fan air filters since last night.
Can taste the air even more today.

Saw the Bad Air in my Favorite City news.
Time to dig into my stash of Covid Masks.

I came to Iowa for my niece’s wedding on the 17th of June and deemed it more disruptive to my work to go home than to stay. Have I been grateful these last days to have clean air! Returning after the 4th though.

Winds shifted back to N/NE.
Sigh.
One day. We got one day out of the S.
